Hello

I tried to install Viart Shopping cart.

I got this page

What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been available without charge, since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard.

The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the Zend Engine.

How can I install Zend OPtimizer in Xampp

It's installed and activated by default.

and what are the steps required.?

In your case you have encrypted PHP files? Then you must also enable the loader in "php.ini":

Code: Select all

zend_optimizer.enable_loader = 1

Hi there,

I have a simalar problem I think. I changed also have zend optimizer as a reuirement and follwed the instructions above. i found 3 php.ini files and changed them all, but no luck on my part. I just installed xampp 1.6.4.

I have had earlier versions of xampp running and manually installed zend-optimizer and that worked, but not this time, so I came across this thread in the forums.
Can you help please?

Kind Regards,
Jeff

Will tell you which php.ini file is in use and so will accept your edits.

Also after making any edits in ini and config files a restart of Apache is required for the changes to be recognized.

Here is a copy of my xampp\apache\bin\php.ini file's Zend entries that seem to work without issue. Your paths may be different

Code: Select all

[Zend]
zend_extension_ts = "C:\xampp\php\zendOptimizer\lib\ZendExtensionManager.dll"
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts = "C:\xampp\php\zendOptimizer\lib\Optimizer"
zend_optimizer.enable_loader = 1
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
;zend_optimizer.license_path =
