Zend optimizer is a plugin to php which allows a server to read zend encoded files as well as serve as a platform to install zend modules such as eaccelerator.
I have a local copy of the files:
cd /usr/local/src
wget
http://eth0.us/files/ZendOptimizer-3.2.8-linux-glibc21-i386.tar.gz
tar -zxf 3.2.8-linux-glibc21-i386.tar.gz
cd 3.2.8-linux-glibc21-i386
./install
Now just hit enter a few times until it is done and you are done! It is as easy as that.
New Version - 2.6
the version 2.6 is ready and can be downloaded from http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-optimizer.php it is running fine with my php 4.4.1.
easy install
Is this a good idea?
I've used it just once and it went out good...

Yes that script is fine, sometimes it falls out of date or urls break which is why I keep the tar.gz on hand for easy access.
