What is the Loader?

The Oxrion Loader is a small, free PHP extension that runs protected code. It’s the runtime half of Oxrion: you protect code on your machine, and the loader runs it on the server.

  • Free and redistributable — your customers install it once and never pay or sign up.
  • Transparent — protected files run like normal PHP, at full speed, OPcache and all.
  • Tamper-checked — the loader verifies each file’s signature and refuses to run anything modified.

Install it on any server that needs to run your protected code — typically your customer’s server.

Where it fits

Section titled “Where it fits”
  1. You protect code with the Encoder.
  2. You deploy the protected files to a server.
  3. That server has the loader installed, so PHP runs them normally.

The loader also enforces the conditions you set: it checks licenses and server locks at runtime, before running a file.
