Hi,

install the Zend Optimizer if you want to execute encoded (by e.g. Zend Encoder) PHP scripts. Encoding PHP scripts will produce binary files that are not human readable. The Zend Optimizer enables PHP to parse those encoded scripts.

Besides that, the Zend Optimizer tries to optimize PHP scripts to enhance the running speed.

You don't need a special syntax. Just develop your scripts as usually.

Ask them? Perhaps they've already encoded it and are not going to give you the PHP source code.
