possible php server addition

[mresell]

I am seeing if this can be added on a per user basis, but the docs make me think maybe not. It looks like a decent addition so I thought vortech could check it out. Currently, it is not available for windows tho. Thanks.

We have ZendOptimizer installed... You can install ionCube on a case by case basis as far as I'm aware, so there is no need to install it server wide... To optimization/encoding libraries might conflict and cause some issues..

I know the loader can I don't think this can. It operates as a zend extension. I am still checking. It would be more equivalent to zend accelerator, I believe. It is supposed to be very stable.

This is from the docs(below), which is only for linux freebsd etc... But I am still checking...just doesn't sound per user. May be able to get it to run. My understanding is that here custom php.ini has no affect on unix side. I did try that, but had no luck. The only thing it says it conflicts w/ is the debug which is turned off anyway. Just thought that if it did speed php up w/ no downside this would be good for everybody. I will continue to see if it can be ran per user tho. I certainly wouldn't recommend adding something unless it has been checked out thoroughly. Thanks for the response

Add the following line to your php.ini file, e.g. near the extensions
section. Set the correct path to where you installed the accelerator
library. /usr/local/lib is a typical directory to use.

; PHP Accelerator extension
zend_extension="/path/to/php_accelerator_1.3.3r2.so"

Note that the Accelerator is not a module, and you must use the
'zend_extension' keyword in the php.ini file and not 'extension'.

2. The dbg.so debugger module is not compatible with PHPA, so check
your php.ini and disable the debugger if you use it on your system.

3. Restart your web server.

4. If PHPA is installed it creates and sets a key in the $GLOBALS array
called _PHPA. Create and execute a script such as the following to dump
the $_PHPA global.



EDIT: Just found out it is not compatible w/ zend optimizer... so forget that.
