Zend's contribution to PHP began in 1997 when Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans started work on a rewrite of the core scripting engine of PHP. This work helped to redefine PHP as a full-featured development language.
Zend's contributions continued with PHP 4 which saw the introduction of the Zend Engine, a highly optimized execution engine. This enhancement allowed modules such as debuggers, performance boosters and custom loaders to dynamically extend PHP for a broader range of functionality. Whenever you're using any plug-in module today, you're doing so thanks to the extensibility support of the Zend Engine.
