Zend Upgrades Industry's #1 PHP Development Studio
Zend Studio 2.5 Reduces Time-to-Market of Dynamic PHP Web
Applications With New Development Environment Features and
Enhancements.
Ramat Gan, Israel, June 3rd, 2002 - Zend Technologies Ltd., the
designers of PHP 4 and leaders in PHP development, deployment and
optimization software today announced the latest release of the Zend
Studio, the industry's most popular PHP development software. Zend
Studio 2.5, boasting several new features and greatly improved
editing capabilities, will be generally available on June 5th.
The emphasis of Zend Studio 2.5 is increased developer productivity
and code quality management. Time-to-market and code quality have
become vital issues for ISVs and enterprises as PHP is increasingly
being used to develop robust, mission critical applications.
Highlights of the new release include a new customization user
interface, class browsers for projects and files, variable code
completion, bracket matching, integrated function documentation
engine and new 'smart' installer.
Popularity Grows as Enterprises Enjoy PHP Development Benefits
Since its introduction in February of 2002, the Zend Studio has
catapulted to prominence among competing PHP development solutions.
Thanks to its unparalleled brand recognition stemming from the Zend
Engine, the scripting engine of PHP, the Zend Studio has accumulated
a tremendous install base in only its first few months of general
availability. The Zend Studio is quickly becoming the de-facto PHP
development tool as companies worldwide begin to realize the
productivity and quality benefits of an industry-standard PHP
development platform.
"We have just begun to employ the Zend Studio within our team and we
are already seeing the added benefits that a comprehensive PHP IDE
and debugger can have on development life cycle." says Joshua Starr,
Sr. Directory Architect at Worldcom.
"The Zend Studio has exceeded all of our expectations. We're proud to
have answered the growing needs of enterprise PHP developers and
we're committed to furthering PHP in the Enterprise by providing
powerful, commercially backed development tools,' says Zend's
co-founder and CEO, Doron Gerstel. 'Products like Zend Studio 2.5 are
critical to ensuring PHP's leadership position in the dynamic web
application market because they further increase the productivity,
reliability and cost effectiveness of PHP.'
Pricing and Availability
The Zend Studio 2.5 for Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP and Linux (glibc 2.1 or later), is available for $195. The
Zend Studio Plus 2.5, which includes one year of support and
upgrades, is available for $249. Localized versions of the Zend
Studio are available in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian,
