Zend is the new engine that PHP4 is built on. It's supposed to be more
optimised for heavy web stuff, kinda like mod_perl or a Java servlet
engine. I've never used it, and haven't touched PHP in a year, so I can't
vouch for what it really does. PHP sorta does objects, but don't expect
Java or C++ (or even Perl) level of OO support.
