If you followed the ZO stuff, you'll notice that it's pretty picky about what versions it works with. IIRC, it didn't used to be uncommon for the ZO to lag at least a few days behind PHP releases, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's still the case.

The change to register_globals doesn't affect the Zend Optimizer or any other extension afaik. That's a non-issue. What is of issue are changes to the Zend Engine itself, which underlies PHP. Changes have been made to ZE that affect binary compatibility, so ZO 1.20 doesn't work with PHP 4.2.1. Here's the error message you'll likely receive if you try: Zend Optimizer requires Zend Engine API version 20010710. The Zend Engine API version 20020429 which is installed, is newer.

J -- Thanks your reply, I 'm a little confused as to the relationship between PHP and Zend? I thought all request were processed by Zend? Or is Zend Optimizer something different from Zend that built as part of PHP4.2.x? Who would a duplicate the error below on my Linux box. Thanks for your time.

[PHP] Re: Compatiblity: Zend-1.20 + PHP4.2.1
Basically, the Zend Engine is kind of like a macro scripting engine that PHP runs on top of. You can actually remove the Zend Engine and use it in other applications, like a macro engine for a work processing app, for instance. The Zend Optimizer isn't a part of the Zend Engine or PHP; it's an extension that you can download from www.zend.com. It isn't part of the standard PHP build or distribution. To duplicate the error I posted, get PHP 4.2.1 and the Zend Optimizer. Install both, then follow the directions that accompany the ZO to enable the Optimizer. (It basically involves making a few changes to your php.ini file -- I believe the ZO setup script does this for you now.) After installing, start up PHP from a shell and you should get the error. If you're using PHP with a web server, check the server's error log. J David Jackson wrote: J -- Thanks your reply, I 'm a little confused as to the relationship between PHP and Zend?
