APC opcode caching absolutely turbo-charges PHP. Quadruple performance.

• CalmQuiet 17y ago
  I'll take your word on it. Since I use an inexpensive (shared) hosting service, how would I go about checking to see if they employ APC opcode (or any other such as listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_accelerator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_accelerator ) ? PHP info page doesn't show anything but "Zend optimizer" (which is not a caching optimizer). Are APC or any such accelerators/cache-optimizers commonly used by hosts (silently, without showing up in PHP info)?

    No, you're probably not going to ever see this in a shared hosting environment. That might change, though: the next version of PHP is going to have APC added (but not enabled) by default.

    As far as I'm aware how it works at the moment means that everyone on a shared server would be working from the same cache hence you have security issue.

  With stat off, of course.
