I know that a few years ago the encryption of files located within a phar was not implemented into ionCube due to both, problems with the bytecode handling and the missing user demand.

Nevertheless, since the whole php community evolved I just wanted to push this feature once more.
Is there a chance ionCube will support encrypted PHARs in the future? Since the encode needs to be rewritten for php7 that would have been the perfect slot for introducing such a feature.
Imho the demand is there and will grow, especially since composer is becoming popular.

Thanks for expressing an interest in this again. It's not something that's on the horizon yet, but you are correct that phars are becoming more widespread and something we're aware of.
