ioncube_loader for php 5.3 Finally Out

Finally, ioncube_loader for php 5.3 is out; since php 5.3 is the default version in Fedora 12 this is really a great news.

sudo gedit /var/www/html/test.php

Paste “< ?php phpinfo(); ?>” and save.

In browser: http://localhost/test.php, should show a page with a nice php logo, check that mysql and mysqli extensions are present.

Install ioncube loader now as described in my previous posts.

Run the helper php script, you should get something like that:
