note 89979 added to function.apc-compile-file

There are reasons to use this routine. I can think of two: - a busy website will have multiple web servers, and before one is brought online (via load balancer), the cache is built. This prevents problems of having too many cache misses in a short period on your entire code base, which could be massive, and cause problems. - a website where the apc.stat flag is set to zero. That setting provides significant performance savings because no 'stat' needs to be performed on PHP code files. But they are not automatically rebuilt when changed. So what do you do when your code changes? Restart Apache, or manually clearing the APC cache with apc_clear_cache() - but both will clear the entire cache. There may be cases where it is much better to recompile select files instead. Some sites store data (that rarely changes) in PHP code to make good use of the opcode cache, updating that file and selectively compiling it would make writes efficient too. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 71.132.141.164 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.apc-compile-file.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89979 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89979/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89979/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89979/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89979/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89979/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89979/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89979 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89979 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
