Is there a way to obfuscate PHP code with Ioncube without encoding it?

I.e. the code is just obfuscated and it can be executed without the ioncube loader?

I am not 100% sure but I remember it was possible with an old version of Ioncube and now (v. 8.3.2) I can't find the way to do it: I still have an obfuscate option but it seems it always work in addition to encoding

    Also, [any obfuscated code can be decompiled](http://stackoverflow.com/a/232767/247893). – h2ooooooo Feb 04 '16 at 15:09
  • I know that obfuscated code can be decompiled and ye I did search for alternatives, however my question was related to Ioncube, it seems to me it was possible in old versions and now I can't find the way to do it. – Eugenio Feb 05 '16 at 12:57
  • @Eugenio Might be a good idea to add that into your question, and say what versions it works with and what versions it doesn't. – AStopher Feb 05 '16 at 14:45
  • Do you insist on IonCube or is any solution that obfuscates without encoding appropriate? – Ira Baxter Feb 05 '16 at 14:57
  • @IraBaxter if it's not possible with ioncube I'll evaluate other options – Eugenio Feb 05 '16 at 17:38

It seems that it is not possible and it has never been possible to obfuscate only: http://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic.php?p=10797#10797
