Notes on upgrade from Zend Studio 5.1 to 5.5

Tony Bibbs writes about his painful upgrade from Zend Studio 5.1 to 5.5. While I’m a huge Zend fanboy, I noticed it looked a bit painful too and have stayed at 5.1 at both home and office.  Tony’s main complaint is with remote debugging and the Zend Server vs Zend Platform issue.  I could never get the debugging to work in the first place.  I’m gonna sit and wait some more on this one.

    Hi,
    To install Zend Debugger you don’t have to install Zend Platform (and by that Zend Core on Windows) you can simply download Zend Debugger and install it manually.

    If you go to http://www.zend.com/free_download/studio you can find the the debugger packages with README installation instructions inside it.

    If you have any more questions or problems you can open a ticket and get a quick help or even mail me to yossi@zend.com.

    I will send a post to in Tony’s site as well.

    Sounds good, will take a look tonight at the separate debugger.

    Can you give me some more details as to why I wouldn’t want to upgrade? I’m just learning PHP, CakePHP, and Zend and I’m going to upgrade to 5.5 just so that I’m working on the same version as my co-worker, but I’d appreciate other users thoughts as to the pros and cons of 5.1 vs 5.5. Thanks!

    If you’re just learning all that stuff, then by all means upgrade to 5.5 to have the latest and greatest. 5.5 does work great with PHP5 (which I believe Cake uses).
