Re: [PHP] Compiler? (Was Re: [PHP] PHP site on CD-ROM)
The compiler has become the encoder, because it's rather hard to meet the expectations of a 'compiler' (many would expect it to produce binaries and heavily optimised code). Encoder makes more sense, based on what the product does. adamw - Original Message - From: "Angus Mann" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2001 11:41 AM Subject: [PHP] Compiler?

Re: [PHP] Compiler? (Was Re: [PHP] PHP site on CD-ROM)
The Encoder does in fact all of the optimizations of the Zend Optimizer (including ones that aren't enabled in the plug-in Zend Optimizer, because performing them every time may take more than what they would save, something that is not an issue in a one time compilation. The reason it's not named 'Compiler' is indeed because people usually (and erroneously) expect all compilers to produce machine language code.

Am I imagining things, or does it look like Zend pulled the plug? Did anyone else in here see it? :) The Compiler underwent a name change only... It's now called the Encoder. The reason is because, well, a compiler implies a translation from source text to machine code as well as a required process to allow that source text to be executable. So the Encoder is not a compiler per se... Even when it was called the Compiler it wasn't one, because you don't need one for PHP. People thought that you did, and so to avoid confusion and misconceptions the name was changed.
