note 109755 added to apc.configuration

I took some time to look at the preload_path option. At the moment of writing the preload_path option is broken because of a bug in the APC source code which will not allow you to properly preload the cache. The way to fix it : Inside 'main_apc.c' in the method called 'static int apc_load_data(const char *data_file TSRMLS_DC)', the length of the key of the value that needs to be stored is determined with the following line : key_len = strlen(key); If I am correct this is only the length of the string itself without the null-terminator However, "_apc_store" seems to want the length of the key string including the terminator. If I change the line above to : key_len = strlen(key)+1; then the preload function works as expected. You can also notice that 1 character is missing when looking at the user cache entries apc.php. But if you try to use that as a key then APC will not return the contents so that didn't work as a workaround. If one is able to compile the apc library from source, then one can of course easily fix this option by changing the source code. Files in the specified path should have the extension '.data'. The filename itself will become the key for the data that is in that specific file. The data in the file is a serialized string representing what you want to assign to the specific key. For example s:2:"123" will generate the string "123". One can only specify 1 value for each key and it should be null-terminated. It is not possible to preload PHP scripts. Only values that one retrieved with apc_fetch can be preloaded. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 183.77.249.183 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/apc.configuration.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109755 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109755/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109755/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109755/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109755/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109755/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109755/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109755 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109755 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
