Notes

LTS stands for "Long Term Support", which means that within a specific Zend Server version, one PHP version will be maintained with stability and
security fixes by Zend beyond the timeframe defined by PHP community. You might also find out that specific PHP versions appears in multiple Zend
Server versions, but only one LTS PHP version exists in every Zend Server version, and appears below as such.

EA stands for Early Access.

EOL stands for End of Life project status.

Zend (Guard) Encoder / Loader ID is an embedded number within each encoded PHP file, identifying PHP version according to the above table.
When encoding PHP scripts using Zend Guard, the runtime PHP must be the same version as encoded version, otherwise you get an incompatible file
format error instead of script execution.

PHP for Windows

PHP is built by Zend labs as Non-Thread-Safe (NTS), with these Visual Studio versions:

PHP 5.3+5.4: VC9, VS 2008 SP1

PHP 5.5+5.6: VC11, VS 2012
