There are problems in ionCube. The problem is when CodeIgniter code is obfusacate and encrypted, the calling area of that function/class/variable does not recognize newly created function/class/variable name and generates error.

ionCube knows the pitfalls and offers a way to exclude such files that are being called outside that file, but thats what MVC do. Not an elegant solution by ionCube.

https://blog.ioncube.com/2014/10/16/common-obfuscation-pitfalls/

I did not check ZendGuard, but my guts feelings says, the same problem will appear if we use any code encryption tool. The point is, we made a file, class, method, variable encrypt and obfuscate (encrypt / obfuscate), after the process, it will produce new name for class, method, variable. Now, another model, controller, method is calling the same variable/method, and then it will not recognized and an error will be thrown. I am not 100% sure in case of ZendGuard or other tools but checked the ionCube.

Well that would take away the whole point of open source now would it. You will have to encrypt/obfuscate your source by using ionCube or Zend encoders. However, I am not sure if the app will work after encoding since you are using a framework. ionCube says that they work with codeigniter but I don't have any experience for it.

I haven't used Zend before. Even though you encrypt them I have seen posts where they claim to be able to get the normal clean code. I don't know how much of this is true.

But if you need to protect the source code ionCube or Zend encoders say that they can. http://www.ioncube.com/ OR http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard/
