| After completing the test, you should see the test results "Run-time loading should be possible on your system but no suitable Loader was found." If these are not the results you receive from your test, you will need to contact your host because a run-time loader is not possible. Usually, your host will have to either "Turn off 'safe mode'" OR modify the "php.ini" file. When you contact your host, provide the location of the ioncube helper file (www.yoursite.com/ioncube/ioncube-loader-helper.php) so that they can see the results of the test you've just run. | After completing the test, you should see the test results "Run-time loading should be possible on your system but no suitable Loader was found."
