If Zend Optimizer is installed on a server, shouldn't I then be able to see this with phpinfo( ) - even if I am hosted virtual ?

Yep - you sure should.

not all hosts allow u to ... webnetics have stopped it.

Thanks Technics - that's good to know...

We do allow you to see the configured PHP info and we use Zend as well.

OK, I can run phpinfo() on the server - but it doesn't say anything about the Zend Optimizer - is that possible ?

Yes, they may not have it installed. Contact me and ill show you ours to see what it should look like. admin@jaguarpc.net

Well, you were right - they didn't have it installed. But it has been fixed now.

Thanks for your offer, but I can see it on my own server now :)
