PhpSwitcher - Zend Guard Loader

Hello,

Zend Guard is a PHP extension.

Quote from mazzo

Is it possible to user the php_compiler.pl script?

No. the PHP compiler allows to compile various PHP versions only.

In order you must:

• Download the Zend Guard loader matching the PHP version for which you want enable it at thttp://www.zend.com/en/products/loader/downloads
• For the rest, instructions are identical to those given for the IonCube loader, excepted that you must adapt the paths and module name. See here: https://wiki.i-mscp.net/doku.p…hpswitcher#ioncube_loader

If you don't figure out alone, I'll create a howto this evening.

You need it for which PHP version exactly? All?

Yes, they are... I'll post the howto this evening.

Sorry, I forgotten you. Here comes the howto for PHP 5.6 (compiled with the PHP comiler that is provided by the PhpSwitcher plugin).

1. Compile your PHP 5.6 version by using the PHP compiler that is provided by the PhpSwitcher plugin
2. Download the Zend Guard Loader archive for Linux under the/usr/local/src directory (For my test, I choosen Zend Guard Loader for PHP 5.6 - Linux 64bits)
3. Copy both, the opcache.so and the ZendGardLoader.so modules from the Zend Guard Loader archive directory into the PHP extension directory as follow:

4. Create the required PHP ini file for activation of the Zend Guard Loader

5. Make sure that both, OPcache and ZendGuard Loader are correctly installed:

Expected output

6. Depending on the i-MSCP httpd server implementation you're using, restart Apache2 or the psw5.6-fpm service. Note that the PHP version must be first registered through the PhpSwitcher interface (admin level)

You're done.

For the rest, read the README.txt file inside the Zend Guard Loader archive.
