ZEND is the company formed by the authors of PHP. Look at
http://www.zend.com/company/overview.php for an overview.

is zend to php the same as activestate to perl or mod_perl to perl.
in otherwords. is zend a compiled version of php or a performace enhancement
of php?

Zend is a company.

They develop the Zend engine which forms the base of PHP. You do not
need to install this separately as it is part of PHP.

They also develop a whole bunch of other stuff, including an IDE, an
encoder, an optimizer etc. You do not need any of these to develop or
run PHP.
