note 97551 added to function.apc-define-constants

A second observation that I've made is that the nature of apc_define_constants() binding the list of constants to a key and then requiring that key to load the constants is limiting. Furthermore, there's no way to append additional constants to a given key. A solution that I've been adopting is to build a list of constants to be defined, and then do one of two things: 1) if APC is enabled, then use apc_define_constants(); 2) ...else loop through the list and define each constant normally. The problem I've run into is when this process happens at different places in a large application, it can introduce overhead that otherwise wouldn't be there if it was possible to append to an existing list of defined constants in APC. ---- Server IP: 72.55.140.6 Probable Submitter: 65.110.28.158 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.apc-define-constants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97551 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97551/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97551/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97551/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97551/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97551/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97551/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97551 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97551 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
