Do you have Zend optimizer installed?

[malcarada]

I could not find this answered anywhere, a very simple question, do you have the Zend optimizer installed? This is a PHP plugin necessary for most TGP sites.

Thank you

It is on the shared servers.

I've got a drupal module complaining about zend. Apparently earlier versions of zend sucked, but their new versions are ok.

Anyway, I need to know what version of zend is used on the shared servers.

This is what my shared server shows.

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.1.29, Copyright (c) 2002-2007, by ionCube Ltd., and
with Zend Extension Manager v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2006, by Zend Technologies
with Zend Optimizer v3.2.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2006, by Zend Technologies

Yes it is installed, and when you call or chat to support that's all they will tell you.

So I've posted this reply to help people actually USE IT! Here's What I have had to do to get scripts to take advantage of the Zend Optimizer Support

I had to add this code to my php.ini file:

zend_extension="/etc/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so"

I also had to set PHP Configuration in cPanel to use PHP5 as the default handler for php. (Do this by going to PHP Configuration in cPanel, and make sure "The ".php" file extension will be processed by PHP5" is selected.) This should fix any Zend errors.

Thanks! Does this mean that those of us who don't have that line in our PHP.inis aren't actually reaping the benefits of the Zend encoder? From the looks of my phpinfo results, I don't think this .ini line is necessary...

I have some apps in joomla that are in sub dirs that complain about no zend optimization support, once I add this it seems to help, the component i am using is the JoomSuite components from JoomSuite.com

PHP.ini needs to be in every folder and zend needs to be in php.ini in order for it to work properly.

Yeah, its installed, as well as ionCube I believe.

Hmmm... how do you know which versions of Zend and such we have? My php.ini has ioncube 4.4 in it, should I mess around and put 5.2 in?

Look at the phpinfo for the main php.ini and copy what it has. (Or look at the main PHP.ini for the server)
