WampServer

I use wamp 1.6.1, Shall I install Zend Optimizer Addon ??
Note: I didnt install php 4 addon..

The Zend Optimizer serves two purposes. First, it makes php scripts run faster, which is a good thing if you are running a web server with many php scripts. It also allows you to use scripts encoded by the Zend Encoder.

But, since WAMP was designed for local testing and development, not to be a live web server, you don’t need Zend Optimizer installed unless you are going to use a Zend Encoded script.

I use live web server with wamp 1.6.1 (php5) and I'm running my webserver with many php scripts .. Shall I install Zend?

Btw thx for the information.

Note: Please take a look at below image.. It has been generated by phpinfo()..

The zend engine shown in your phpinfo is a part of the php core, more info here

The zend optimzer is totally different tool

But the magic word is "Shall I install Zend Optimizer" .. ?

only if you need to run Zend Encoded scripts.

Why only for Zend Encoded Scripts?? Its Zend Optimizer and not only for Zend Enc.Scripts.. I think its all of php scripts.. not?

Zend engine is different from the zend optimizer, which is different from the zend encoder..
