Zend Optimizer manual install issue

[cnapoli2]

I am using the manual installation and I have done all the steps correctly, and it is telling me I don't have Zend Optimizer installed, but when I look at my php_info it tells me:
"This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies".

Does that mean I still need to install the Zend Optimizer?
Also, I am using PHP 5.3, so would I need to use the Zend Guard Loader?

Hello,

Zend Optimizer is different then the Zend Engine.

The "Zend Engine" is the engine that makes PHP code work.  The Zend Optimizer is a seperate software that is used to "interpret" encrypted PHP code.

So to answer your question...

1. The simplest solution is to use the Ioncube Encoded version.    It's typically easier to install, and also is fully supported all the way up to latest PHP development versions.. (v5.4, v6.x, etc...)  Whereas Zend Optimizer (I believe) is no longer supported with PHP 5.4?

If you get stuck with anything, just request a free install and I'll do my best to help asap:
