Does the Linux Economy Hosting Plan Have Zend Optimizer and GD Library Installed?
Yes. Zend Optimizer™ for PHP4 and GD Library are installed on all Linux Shared Hosting accounts.
GD Library is a PHP library that affects image resizing, among other things. Zend Optimizer™ works with Zend Guard™ to enhance the performance of PHP applications. Zend Guard protects the source code of PHP applications by distributing them without revealing the application's source code. Zend Optimizer runs and optimizes Zend Guard's encoded files, which enhances the performance of PHP applications.
Customers can upload newer versions of Zend Optimizer (and other PHP modules) and reference the path to their files.
CAUTION: This will not work with PHP5. If you attempt to use the installed version of Zend Optimizer with PHP5, it will cause problems.
If you want to use your own php.ini and Zend Optimizer, add the following to your php.ini:
[Zend]
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-2.5.7
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-2.5.7
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
