Zend Studio
A professional-grade PHP IDE for developing, testing, and debugging code faster

Zend Server Development License
A fully-functional copy of Zend Server for use in development, providing a consistent PHP stack and code-level performance optimization

Zend Studio is the only Integrated Development Environment (PHP IDE) designed for professional developers that encompasses all the development components necessary for the full PHP application lifecycle. Through a comprehensive set of editing, debugging, analysis, optimization, database tools and testing Zend Studio speeds development cycles and simplifies complex projects.

Zend Server is an enterprise-ready web application server for deploying, running and managing PHP applications that require a high level of reliability, performance and security. Zend Server adds value throughout the application lifecycle: development, deployment, performance optimization and monitoring, and problem resolution. It contains a complete, well-tested PHP stack for deployment and production, allows consistent and rapid application deployment, provides built-in caching and acceleration, and delivers integrated application monitoring and diagnostics. Zend Server users receive up to 24x7 technical support, continuous software updates, hot fixes, and security patches provided by Zend, The PHP Company

Zend Studio and Zend Server are designed to work together, streamlining the development and deployment process. From Zend Studio, PHP scripts can be tested onto a local Zend Server and then packaged up for deployment on Zend Server in production.. Then after deployment time, Zend Server monitoring captures debugging and root cause analysis information for use in Zend Studio.
