I can't even begin to comprehend how it manages to do this, given that the Zend site indicates that internal debugging works by sitting on top of your local PHP install.

All I know is that this makes it incredibly hard to debug those big PHP scripts that use more than 8Mb of RAM, because you can't adjust the memory_limit value in your php.ini file. (Well, you can, but it doesn't seem to have any effect inside of Zend.)

You have to resort to configuring Apache and installing the Zend Platform to make it all work -- which is a pain when you're in a rush.
