But please keep in mind a few things:

1) Zend Core is pushing around PHP 5.2.something which has been deprecated by the community for nearly 2 years! http://php.net/archive/2010.php
2) Zend Core is NOT SUPPORTED and will not install on i7.1. If you upgrade an IBM i OS to i7.1, be very concerned about Core running.
3) Zend Server tends to run faster than Zend Core, primarily due to the switch from 2 Apache servers to FastCGI. YMMV
4) Some of the latest frameworks (Symfony 2, Zend Framework 2) are looking for PHP 5.3. Smarty still runs on PHP 5.2, but...
5) Zend Server is still a no charge feature!
6) One of the more popular "breakages" when upgrading is the fact that the CLI now require that you use PHP-CLI rather than just PHP. Have had several customers discover their batch based PHP was running under Core while the rest of their world was running under Server. D'oh!

If you must stick with PHP 5.2 here are a couple of tips:
1) Download the correct version of Zend Server! PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 are available at Zend.com (again, at no charge!!!). PHP 5.4 coming soon.
2) Keep in mind that a migration of Zend Server from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3 requires a rip-and-replace upgrade.

So, the moral of the story is, if you can get to PHP 5.3, it would probably serve you better in the long run. Here is a link that discusses incompatibilities: http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php

Usually not too much risk for most of the IBM i installations.

Yes, you can Zend Core and Zend Server at the same time.

Hi Sean,

Since Zend Core and Zend Server run in PASE (rather than the native
environment) they can operate more or less independently of the OS
version. It's possible to update IBM i and leave Zend Core running,
as-is, on the updated box.

However, if you do decide to upgrade Zend Core to Zend Server, in my
experience it does break some stuff, but they are mostly minor things.
You'll want to go back and re-test your programs on the new server,
and fix anything that broke. (You can run both Zend Core and Zend
Server on the same box at the same time if you like.)

Good luck!

Is there an upgrade guide for going from V5R4M5 with Zend Core to
V7R1 which I believe should be Zend Server?

I'm not so much concerned with the configuration bits, as I'm pretty
sure I can figure that out (though if it's documented somewhere,
I'll certainly accept the easy way out.)

I'm thinking more along the lines of should I uninstall the previous
version before upgrading the OS? Will MySQL go easily along with
it?
