Platform 2.2.3 Released
We did a customer satisfaction survey last month for customers using Zend Platform. Of the customers that responded 81% were using PHP 5.x and 19% PHP 4.x. For their webserver 77% used Apache 2.x, 16% used Apache 1.3.x and 7% used IIS.
We knew that our customer set is skewed towards more advanced configurations, but we were surprised to see how much so. More than 75% using PHP 5.x / Apache 2.x combinations is more than we expected.
In fact, about 10% of the customers used the survey to complain about lack of support for Apache 2.2, Apache’s most recent version.
The good news for them is that we have released Zend Platform 2.2.3 today. From the release notes:
- Support for Apache version 2.2
- Zend Optimizer 3.0.2 is included
- Bundled Zend Core PHP version is 5.1.6
- Various Session Clustering bug fixes

I think its fair to say that all of Zend’s customers use PHP, while many servers that expose_php are domain parking or serving static pages. What is the adoption rate for php 5? Who knows. […]
[…] There is a good sense of anticipation around 5.2. It’s performance is now at par or better than 4.4, and it has so many benefits that there is a major one for each developer who is on the fence today. As I reported before, among Zend’s customers the switch to 5.x is in full swing, and 5.2 is certain to accelerate that. […]
