Opcode (APC/XCache), Zend, Doctrine, and Autoloaders

I am trying to use either APC or XCache as an opcode to cache my php pages. I am using it with Zend and Doctrine and it's having a problem with the autoloader.

If I try with APC, I get the following:

Fatal error: spl_autoload() [<a href='function.spl-autoload'>function.spl-autoload</a>]: 
  Class Doctrine_Event could not be loaded in 
  C:\\[mydir]\\library\\doctrine\\Doctrine\\Record.php on line 777

If I try with XCache I get the following:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Zend_Registry in 
  C:\\[mydir]\\library\\zendframework\\Zend\\Registry.php on line 0

I'm running Zend 1.9.1, Doctrine 1.1 on a windows box.

My bootstrap is as follows:

set_include_path(dirname(__FILE__).'/../library/zendframework'
. PATH_SEPARATOR . dirname(__FILE__).'/../library/doctrine'.....

require 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';

$loader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$loader->suppressNotFoundWarnings(false);
$loader->setFallbackAutoloader(true);

From what I've read, using APC or xcache is almost a must for performance, but I can't seem to get it working. Any ideas?

Solution

  • You could put a "Zend_Session::writeClose(true);" at the end of your index.php.
    This will write the session into a persistent state before necessary Objects (Zend_Loader etc.) get destructed.

    Better: Register it as shutdown function.
    So it will be executed even if you use exit(), die() or a fatal error occures:

    register_shutdown_function(array('Zend_Session', 'writeClose'), true);
