How to flush APC class loader cache?

The Performance Symfony book mentions the need to flush the APC cache when some classes have moved and this is indeed needed.

However, I don't find how to clear the APC cache for autoloaders. I tried with the PHP apc_clear_cache() function, but it didn't help.

How to clear this APC cache?

Solution

  • As mentioned by Mauro apc_clear_cache can also take an argument to clear different types of apc caches: 

      apc_clear_cache();
  apc_clear_cache('user');
  apc_clear_cache('opcode');

    Please also see this related post on SO.

    And there is also ApcBundle which adds a Symfony apc:clear command.
