00-ioncube.ini and php.ini my will have for the dither functions that it need

zend_extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.2.so

Can you show me how to fix the problem "Can not load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was already loaded"

I thank you very much

You need to run your "hosting" version of PHP like:

# /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php -v

instead of PHP version from OS vendor as you did it with:

# php -v

I do not understand what your mind is, but it must be like this

Well. If we talk about Plesk hosting, you have your own PHP version for your site which can be defined in your site settings. Physically all these "hosting" PHP versions located in /opt/plesk/php/ directory:

# ls -la /opt/plesk/php/
total 40
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 May 8 02:48 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 May 8 02:58 ..
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 8 02:51 5.2
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 8 02:51 5.3
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 5.4
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 5.5
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 5.6
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 7.0
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 7.1
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 7.2

# ls -la /opt/plesk/php/7.1/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 May 8 02:48 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 8 02:51 bin
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 etc
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 8 02:48 lib64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 8 02:51 share
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 8 02:51 var

So, each of these PHP versions has own php settings in the corresponding etc directory. For example:

# ls -la /opt/plesk/php/7.1/etc/
total 100
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1221 Apr 27 09:23 pear.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 8 02:52 php.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4117 Apr 27 09:22 php-fpm.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 09:22 php-fpm.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71070 Apr 27 09:22 php.ini

where ioncube loader for this version is defined. For example:

# cat /opt/plesk/php/7.1/etc/php.d/00-ioncube-loader.ini
; Enable ionCube Zend extension module
zend_extension=ioncube_loader_lin_7.1.so

And we have system php version from OS vendor:

# /usr/bin/php

with settings in /etc/php..
So, check PHP version of your site and corresponding settings of this PHP version.
