PHP files decoded from IonCube Loader dont work

[tnet]

I have a Wordpress plugin consisting of 12 files, and after decoding them with <snip> most of them don't work; I think that the decoder works fine etc. These are the particular errors that I get after checking the files with <snip>
1) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt.php on line 569
569: $state = ; (this is the line and its contents)

2) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt_feeds.php on line 512
512: $wptMessage = ;

3) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in wpt_feeds_spec.php on line 259
259: $seconds = explode( ':', (bool)$videoInfo->duree );

4) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt_image.php on line 158
158: $etag = ;

5) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt_rewriter.php on line 27
27: $wptError = ;

6) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt_settings.php on line 26
26: $wptMessage = ;

7) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt_utils.php on line 386
386: $contentId = ;

8) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt_views.php on line 27
27: $wptError = ;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in wpt_widget.php on line 362
362: $wptMessage = ;

Is there any way to figure out whats going on and how to get it to work. Is it possible that the files need to be encoded in order for the plugin to work?

Thank you.

First..don't link to crack / decoder sites..

Second..I have a paid for $299.00 ( + VAT ) ioncube v7 pro..a few sites think that they can decode it's output..they can't..

Well yeah, your php decoder failed you. It assigned a variable a value of nothing.

$wptError = "";

This would make the error go away, but I'm sure there's an actual value in there that you need for all those variables.

When a decoded plugin gets activated it requires a license code, which can be obtained from their website. It looks like the plugin connects to this website, because if I delete the website from there, the plugin stops working on my server also.

Maybe the activation process does something to the variables etc, but I am not sure. The code should work one way or another anyway. I don't think there is something like - the code works if it is encoded, but it doesn't work when it is not etc...

Sorry, but hacking software isn't what WebmasterWorld is all about.

As a software author that uses IonCube, if I caught a customer trying to reverse engineer my code you would probably find yourself in contact with my legal representative.

Hopefully the author of that plug-in doesn't find this thread and seek you out.

Good luck!
