.php files encrypted with IonCube

Start with your PHP file. If another file is needed, we'll show you what's missing. Maximum 10MB.

Only upload files you own, are authorized to analyze, or are lawfully permitted to recover, migrate, audit, or interoperate with. Do not upload third-party proprietary software without permission. This ordinary public preview does not use AI-assisted callback recovery; charged, trusted-account, and approved trusted-partner recovery may send supplied context and relevant decoded fragments to our configured third-party model provider. See Terms.

Decode IonCube PHP 8.2 files online

PHP 8.2 brought readonly classes, disjoint-normal-form types, and deprecation of dynamic properties. IonCube's 8.2 encoder supports these. DecodePHP attempts recognized 8.2-targeted builds and reports unsupported or protection-dependent cases explicitly.

Upload a recognized IonCube PHP 8.2 file. Eligible files get a free 20-line preview; files that need a license, companion file, or callback context return specific guidance.

IonCube 10–15

Support for recognized IonCube 10 through 15 builds across the listed PHP targets.

Supported PHP targets

Supported targets: PHP 5.0–5.6, 7.1–7.4, and 8.1–8.4. PHP 7.0 and 8.0 ionCube targets are not accepted.

Readable output

Recovered PHP is formatted for review where structure can be reconstructed; lint and test it before use.

Fast decoding

Routine files usually finish quickly. Uploads are limited to 10 MB; callback-key recovery can take several minutes.

100% online

Nothing to install locally. Uploads are processed server-side in isolated microVMs.

Account download

Download a viewable account result after processing completes.

IonCube encoders that target it
IonCube 14 was the first release with PHP 8.2 parity. IonCube 15 also targets 8.2.

What PHP 8.2 introduced

Decoders for PHP 8.2 need to reconstruct opcodes for these language features specifically:

  • Readonly classes (class X { public readonly int $id; })
  • Disjoint normal form (DNF) types (A&B | null)
  • true, false, and null as standalone types
  • New random number API (\\Random\\Randomizer)
  • Dynamic property deprecation (#[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute)
  • Constants in traits
  • Sensitive parameter attribute

Why PHP 8.2 decoding still matters

  • PHP 8.2 is the most common 'current' deployment target in 2025–2026 for new commercial scripts.
  • Hosting providers that upgraded past PHP 7.x commonly settled on 8.2 before jumping to 8.3/8.4.
  • WHMCS 8.x strong-recommended PHP 8.2 for modern installs, so the ecosystem adoption is high.

Gotchas specific to decoding PHP 8.2

  • DNF type opcodes (TYPE_INTERSECTION inside TYPE_UNION) are new in 8.2; mistyping by decoder produces syntactically invalid PHP.
  • Dynamic property deprecation means decoded classes may need explicit property declarations or the #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute to run.
  • Random\Randomizer opcodes call into the new randomizer — 8.1 decoders handle it as a generic method_call, losing type information.

File signature

An IonCube-encoded file targeting PHP 8.2 typically begins with a header that looks like this:

<?php //004fb5a6\n<?php //PHP82+\nHR+cPkX...

The first line encodes a header hash, the second encodes the PHP target, and the remainder is the encrypted bytecode payload. Our free in-browser version detector reads these bytes to identify the exact encoder and PHP target for your file.

Frequently asked questions

Does your decoder support IonCube with PHP 8.2?
DecodePHP accepts recognized IonCube builds targeting PHP 8.2. A matching license, companion file, or callback context may still be required.
What's different about decoding PHP 8.2 IonCube files?
PHP 8.2 added readonly classes, DNF types, and deprecated dynamic properties. IonCube 8.2-targeted encoders emit specific opcodes for these — our decoder tracks those changes 1:1.
Can I decode files encoded with IonCube 13 for PHP 8.2?
PHP 8.2 targeting depends on the IonCube encoder generation. DecodePHP attempts recognized compatible builds; it does not promise every IonCube 10–15 cross-version pair.
Is there a free preview for PHP 8.2 files?
Eligible PHP 8.2 files get a free 20-line preview when decoding completes without an unresolved protection requirement.
Will decoded PHP 8.2 output run unchanged?
Lint and test the recovered source on PHP 8.2 before using it; decompiled output can require manual fixes.
My app is PHP 8.2 but hosted on a server running PHP 8.3 — which decoder?
Use the decoder matching the encoded file's PHP version (the IonCube target), not the server PHP version. If your file was encoded for 8.2, use this page.
