Can Zend Optimizer and IonCube co-reside on the same server?

Question

We have a Windows 2008 server that already has Zend Optimizer installed but have been asked by a user if we can install IonCube?

Can Zend Optimizer and IonCube co-reside on the same server?

What are the correct directives to use to make this work in the php.ini file?

We're running PHP 5.2.14 non-threadsafe build.

Answer 1

Yes, Zend Optimizer and IonCube can co-reside on the same server:

Q. Can I install Zend Optimizer with the Loader?

A. Yes. We permit trusted software to be installed, and so we support the installing of Zend Optimizer along with our Loader in the php.ini file.

Note that our Loader must be installed before Zend Optimizer in the php.ini file.
