Install the ZendOptimizer extension for PHP5.3 or above

This article mainly introduces the method of installing the ZendOptimizer extension in PHP5.3 and above. It is very detailed and is recommended for reference by friends in need.

Many PHP programs now require the ZendOptimizer environment, but ZendOptimizer has been supported after PHP5.2. So what should I do? Zend will not do this. It turns out that ZendOptimizer has been officially changed to Zend Guard Loader since PHP5.3.

Zend Guard Loader is released, and Zend Optimizer will no longer be updated, and due to the large difference when using Zend Guard to encrypt code, you will be prompted whether to use php5.3. If you use 5.3 then the code cannot be used in php5. 2 runs on.

Zend Guard Loader installation instructions

Download Zend Guard Loader package
(Official address: http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard/downloads)

Linux:

x86:http://downloads.zend.com/guard/5.5.0/ZendGuardLoader-php-5.3-linux-glibc23-i386.tar.gz

and extract ZendGuardLoader.so (Linux) or ZendLoader.dll (Windows) to upload to the server.

Load ZendGuardLoader and configure PHP.INI

zend_loader.enable=1
zend_loader.disable_licensing=0

The following are explained one by one:

Note that the Windows version only supports the NTS (non-thread-safe) version of PHP5 .3, that is, Thread Safety in phpinfo is disabled!

Add the following line to your php.ini file:

;Linux和Mac OS X：
zend_extension=<ZendGuardLoader.so的绝对路径>
;Windows的非线程安全的：
zend_extension=<ZendLoader.dll的绝对路径>

Add the following line to load ZendGuardLoader:

Restart Web services.

If you see the following content in phpinfo (different versions may be different):
