We need to upgrade the php version from 5.3 to 5.5 of one project that´s using APC. So, as I´ve seen in php 5.5 there is a new cache library to use instead of apc, opcache. I have read the docs and I have a few doubts.
Actually, in one specific part of the project we are using the apc store and fetch functions to store some data, but I haven´t seen any similar functions to do the same task with opcache. The question is simple, is it possible to do the same with opcache?
Thanks in advance.
You can restore the store and fetch functions by installing APCu
sudo apt-get install php5-apcu
By installing APCu extension_loaded('apc') will return true as well
and you don't need to rename any of the old functions used.
I'm using this on a debian with PHP5.6 with OPCache enabled
