Hi ionCube Support Team,

I have purchased ioncube Pro CI and I would like to ask if I can encrypt using ioncube so that the results are compatible with all versions of PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3. Is that possible?

Hi,

Thanks for the post and it’s best to use [support.ioncube.com](http://support.ioncube.com) for direct support as the forum is for community use but i’ll answer here 🙂

If you use the bundle option then you can combin a PHP 8.1 and 8.2 file set together where 8.1 covers for 8.1 by itself but then 8.2 encoded files can run on PHP 8.2-8.5 when the latest Loader is installed so you can achieve a wide range of compatibility with just 2 sets of encoded files.

Section 3.14 has information on bundling - [https://www.ioncube.com/sa/USER-GUIDE.pdf](https://www.ioncube.com/sa/USER-GUIDE.pdf)

You can still do that with version 14 in the same way. If you look at the guide I sent over then the encoding command for bundling is at section 3.14. You just need to set -L at the start of your command for the legacy encoder (which will be v14 if you are using v15). Then specify 8.2 or 8.1 as your first encoding option, then use the add to bundle option to add in the other PHP version you want to encode for.

You’ll need to bundle 8.1 and 8.2 to achieve the compatbility you require.
