v11 recovery guide

IonCube v11 Decoder for PHP 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4

IonCube v11 spans multiple PHP 7 runtime generations. Correct routing matters because a file targeting PHP 7.1 or 7.2 should not be interpreted with the same runtime assumptions as a PHP 7.4 build.

How the v11 route works

The v11 guide focuses on identifying the PHP target, preserving the original function/class inventory and rejecting short output when the captured method count indicates that more code should exist.

  1. 1Read PHP target hints
  2. 2Select the matching v11 runtime
  3. 3Collect method, class and literal records
  4. 4Compare recovered output coverage with dump statistics

PHP 7.4 differences

PHP 7.4 has runtime differences that require its own profile and semantic mapping rather than a blind PHP 7.1 fallback.

Partial method inventory

A syntactically valid file can still be incomplete. Delivery checks compare captured methods and emitted functions before accepting the result.

v11 decoder questions

Which v11 profile should I choose?

Choose the PHP version used to encode the file when you know it. Otherwise, the automatic route evaluates the available PHP 7 lanes.

Is syntax validation enough?

No. Syntax is one check; method coverage, output size and encoded-wrapper detection are also used to identify unusable output.
