PHP 8.4 Compatibility: Full Support for Latest PHP

PHP 8.4 — What's New

PHP 8.4 brings exciting new features that affect how IonCube-encoded files work:

Property Hooks

class User {
    public string $name {
        set => strtolower($value);
        get => ucfirst($this->name);
    }
}

Asymmetric Visibility

class BankAccount {
    public private(set) float $balance;
}

New Array Functions

$result = array_find($items, fn($item) => $item->active);

Impact on IonCube Encoding

PHP 8.4's new syntax features require updated IonCube encoding:

• New opcodes for property hooks
• Modified class structures for asymmetric visibility
• New function signatures for array functions
