Learn to install Apache 2, MySQL 5, PHP 5, phpMyAdmin 2 and Zend Optimizer 3 on Windows XP (Install Zend Optimizer)

For the last step, we need an optimizer for all of our PHP code. So we're going to use Zend Optimizer as it's the industry standard and well it's free and they also make a 32 bit version, so it will work on Windows.

So let's start off by executing the installer that we downloaded in the beginning.

Find the new location, or type it in the URL bar. In this case we're using "C:\server\Zend" as we'd like to keep everything in its own folder. Click OK then Next

Next the installer would like to know where our "php.ini" file is installed. In this case it's installed in the "c:\server\PHP" folder. So, click Browse button, and point it to c:\server\PHP.

Once everything is finished, we'll get a window similar to this. Simply click on Finish and we're done. Zend Optimizer is now installed in the location we provided and is configured using the settings we specified during installation.

Now we can test to see if Zend Optimizer is installed and running correctly. Let's open our favorite browser and run the phpinfo() application, just like we did at PHP installation. Simply type in http://localhost/inpo.php as the URL and hit enter.
