Re: Compatiblity: Zend-1.20 + PHP4.2.1

J -- Thanks your reply, I 'm a little confused as to the relationship between PHP and Zend? I thought all request were processed by Zend? Or is Zend Optimizer something different from Zend that built as part of PHP4.2.x? Who would a duplicate the error below on my Linux box. Thanks for your time. David J Smith wrote:

The change to register_globals doesn't affect the Zend Optimizer or any other extension afaik. That's a non-issue. What is of issue are changes to the Zend Engine itself, which underlies PHP. Changes have been made to ZE that affect binary compatibility, so ZO 1.20 doesn't work with PHP 4.2.1. Here's the error message you'll likely receive if you try: "Zend Optimizer requires Zend Engine API version 20010710. The Zend Engine API version 20020429 which is installed, is newer."

Is my hosting company trying to "pull the wool over my eyes"? There response to upgrading to 4.2.1, was that it isn't compatible with Zind optomizer 1.20? The only *issue* I seen with 4.2.x is of course register_globals! (which of course be changed in php.ini) I don't have a problem with them holding off, but I do have a problem with them trying to "blow smoke up my ***". Thanks, David
