如何在Azure上启用Zend Guard Loader扩展（ZendLoader.dll）？

Question

I have an azure website running php 5.3 and files encrypted with Zend Guard. I can't get azure to load ZendGuard extension. I have followed this advice: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlining/archive/2012/09/17/using-custom-php-extensions-in-windows-azure-web-sites.aspx

I have an app setting : PHP_EXTENSIONS = bin/ZendLoader.dll

and I have a .user.ini file with upload_max_filesize = 10M

[Zend]
zend_loader.enable=1
zend_loader.disable_licensing=0
zend_extension="bin/ZendLoader.dll"

the upload_max setting is being taken, so I know the file is being loaded, and the PHP_EXTENSIONS is being shown in PHPinfo as a server var, but no loaded extension. Any ideas?

I just wrote a blog post on how you can Enable ZendGuard in Windows Azure Web Sites.

One main different is that ZendLoader is a ZendExtension, which needs an app setting the key PHP_ZendExtensions instead of PHP_Extensions

This link describes how to configure ZendGuard in PHP running with FastCGI in IIS.
