Profiler for Zend Server (Zend Debugger)

I'm looking for a PHP profiler that works with Zend Server (CE). From what I can tell, XDebug is a pain to setup with Zend Server. While Zend Debugger is free (as I understand it), the Profiler is only on Zend Studio.

An开发者_开发技巧y other options?

I wish I could will you Zend Studio, as the profiler component is quite nice.

XDebug (standalone tip) may be your only option, unfortunately.

Do you have the option of upgrading to Zend Server 5 Professional edition? The Code Tracing feature would help you in profiling. Or, have you looked at PQP or DBG for Eclipse?

I wish I could be more help. The company I work for uses Zend Server for all deployments and the engineers all have Zend Studio.

Good luck.

A late answer, but might still be handy for those who find this question via searching (like I did).

I have Zend Server CE and PHPStorm on a Windows configuration and also wanted to profile some pages. It turned out that since a while it is just built-in in PHPStorm! With the explanation on this page: http://devnet.jetbrains.net/thread/432088 it was a breeze to get it up and running.

PHPStorm is not free (it is for individuals that do open source development) but its prices are absolutely affordable and are paid back for within days looking at the increasement in productivity.

You should consider the Semantic Designs PHP Profiler.

Doesn't require XDEBUG to be installed. Doesn't require any special configuration of your server. Works with huge PHP applications.
