hi people, 1. __autoload & APC
I have been STW to try and find a definitive answer as to whether using __autoload with APC is a bad idea ... and if so why? ... I can't find that definitive answer, can anyone here state whether this it's an absolutely bad idea to use __autoload with APC? (I need to speed up an app that currently loads in pretty much everything on every request ... and it's impossible to untangle the class interdependencies, in the time I have, and thereby load only what is absolutely needed, when it's needed ... so I want to give __autoload() a shot in order to minimize what classes are loaded. 2. webclusters & APC I'm building a load-balanced cluster for the same app ... a certain times new data is imported from a thirdparty system after which some APC cached data needs to be cleared, in the same vein I occasionally roll out a new version and then the APC opcode cache needs to be cleared (each webserver in the cluster has it's own APC cache obviously). now I'm stuck with the problem of how to trigger the cache clearance on all servers ... Greg Donald already mentioned the ruby based capistrano for executing commands on multiple remote servers and I'll be using that to manage things like cache clearance, webserver restarting, etc on all the webservers ... BUT I have found that it is not possible to control the APC cache of php_mod from the CLI version of php, they apparently use different APC caches. it seems that the only way to control the APC cache of mod_php is via a web interface. APC ships with the very handy apc.php script but this is hardly a decent way of controlling/clearing the APC cache of multiple machine programmatically. Am I stuck with one of: 1. doing a graceful restart of all servers (which causes APCs cache to disappear)? 2. writing a cmdline script that performs a URL request to a copy of apc.php that is reachable via each webserver in order to clear/manage the APC cache? or is there another way that I can control the webserver's APC cache from the cmdline? rgds, Jochem -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
