Where The Dandelions Are...

        When I need to be alone
        And find a place obscure
        I run into the flowered field
        A place remote for sure
        The snapdragons will spit and roar
        The tigerlilies growl
        The horseflies neigh and pull the reigns
        The dragonflies will howl
        The ladybugs curtsy and flit their wings
        The crickets chirp along
        As all the tulips hum the words
        The bluebirds know the song
        I wave "good-bye" to all my friends
        It's almost dinner time
        And turn around to go inside
        With one more hill to climb
        The day is done, time to go home
        It isn't very far
        To find the unpretentious place
        Where the dandelions are...

What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been available without charge, since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard.

The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the Zend Engine.
