Boost performance

To really boost performance, kigkonsult can now offer PHP class/function files (iCalcreator etc) in byte coded files, using ionCube encoder (PHP 4 and 5 scripts).

Encoded PHP files use a platform independent file format, and can be run on any platform for which ionCube supply a (free) Loader. Currently supported platforms are Windows (e.g. NT, XP, W2K), Intel Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, and Sparc Solaris.

The use of the loader requires an update of "php.ini" or additional file in "/etc/php.d" folder AND the execute rights to use the PHP "dl" function. For more PHP byte coded file loader information, please visit ioncube.com/loaders.php and ioncube.com/faqs/loaders.php.

For a kigkonsult package (iCalcreator etc), the production cost is 20 euro, for additional packages in the same or later orders, 10 euro each. For a EU customer or a Swedish Business, Swedish VAT (25%) is added.

The kigkonsult byte coded PHP file has no licence key nor expiry date but are not for redistribution and are intended for single customer/site use only.

Please use the "Order" option in the form below. Country and, for a business/company, name and VAT number are required!

ioncube image To encode your entire PHP site,
a purchase of ionCube Standalone PHP Encoder
or using ionCube Online PHP Encoder
is a strong recommendation!
