Php Cache

[Herbster]

Overall, something to harass your host for... :rolleyes:


Turck MMCache is a free open source PHP accelerator, optimizer, encoder and dynamic content cache for PHP. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. Also it uses some optimizations to speed up execution of PHP scripts. Turck MMCache typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.

I'm not able to analyze PHP caches from HostPCs' point of view. I don't know if this software is stable or if it is the best solution. Just one possibility. Some kind of PHP cache would be nice. If a user installed solution is best, that's fine - I just need to find one...

We use ZEND (zend.org) as our PHP accellerator... it's more widely known, recognized and supported.

I use the php cache pear package for one of my hostpc domains. It is very nice.

Thanks Eugene. I'll take a look at it.

I think the problem is that the zend support products all cost hundreds to thousands of dollars to purchase or use. For those those like me that want to encode their PHP source Turck MMcache is the only alternative. Since HostPC is into using the open source OS and other software they should really consider using Turck MMcache as it is open source and stable.

The reason that most come to to HostPC is first price and then service. Zend products do not offer the first and thus cannot satisfy the second.

In the future I will be selling my products and services in encoded format and will need a Host to recommend to those that purchase. Hopefully HostPC will see the benefits of Turck MMcache and be first on my recommendation list.
