My Answer:
To install Ioncube Loader 10.4 on XAMPP with PHP 8, you can follow these steps:

1. Download the Ioncube Loader 10.4 from the official website: https://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

2. Extract the downloaded file and copy the `ioncube` folder to your XAMPP installation directory. For example, if your XAMPP is installed in `C:\xampp`, then copy the `ioncube` folder to `C:\xampp`.

3. Edit your `php.ini` file located in the `php` folder of your XAMPP installation directory. Add the following line at the end of the file:


zend_extension = "C:\xampp\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_7.4.dll"


Make sure to replace the path with the correct path to the `ioncube_loader_win_7.4.dll` file in your XAMPP installation directory.

4. Restart your Apache server in XAMPP.

5. To verify that Ioncube Loader is installed correctly, create a PHP file with the following code:

php
phpinfo();
?>


Save the file in the `htdocs` folder of your XAMPP installation directory and access it through your web browser. Search for "ionCube" in the PHP info page to see if Ioncube Loader is listed.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install Ioncube Loader 10.4 on XAMPP with PHP 8.
