What is Zend Engine?

PHP uses Zend Engine as a compiler and runtime engine inside. Zend OPCodes are created by compiling PHP scripts in memory.

These OPCodes are run, and the resulting HTML is delivered to the client.

For the PHP language, the Zend Engine offers memory and resource management, as well as other common functions. PHP’s rising popularity can be attributed to its performance, dependability, and extensibility.
