Disable OPCache temporarily

I recently moved to PHP 5.4 and installed OPCache, it's very powerful!

How can I temporarily disable the cache?

I tried :

 ini_set('opcache.enable', 0);

But it has no effect.

Thanks

Solution

  • Once your script runs, it's too late to not cache the file. You need to set it outside PHP:

    • If PHP runs as Apache module, use an .htaccess file:

      php_flag opcache.enable Off

    • If PHP runs as CGI/FastCGI, use a .user.ini file:

      opcache.enable=0

    In all cases, you can also use good old system-wide php.ini if you have access to it.
