    Is the friendly error messages , they point you back to the PHP Documentation. Being a regular in #PHP IRC channels, this is going to save me a lot of headaches :) Praise the lord, the newbies have fully automated RTFM messaging!!

    Why no official PHP Opcode cache [weblogs.com]? 30-200% performance gain

    Simply asked, simply answered: there is no "official" PHP opcode caching because PHP relies on the Zend engine and the PHP developers work very closely with the people at Zend, who sell the Zend Performance Suite (formerly Zend Accelerator), and the guys at PHP are not about to cut into Zend's livelihood by bundling a product with PHP which makes the Zend product redundant.
