PHP Opcode Cache - PHP is a script processing engine, which reads

an input stream of data that contains text and/or PHP instructions and produces another

stream of data, most commonly in the HTML format. This means that on a web server the

PHP engine reads, parses, compiles and executes a PHP script each time that it is requested

by a Web client. The reading, parsing and compilation operations put additional load on the

web server's CPU and file system and thus affect the overall performance of a PHP web application.

The PHP bytecode (opcode) cache is used to store the compiled script bytecode in shared memory so

that it can be re-used by PHP engine for subsequent executions of the same script.

File Cache - Even with the PHP opcode cache enabled, the PHP engine

has to accesses the script files on a file system. When PHP scripts are stored on a remote

UNC file share, the file operations introduce a significant performance overhead.

The Windows Cache Extension for PHP includes a file cache that is used to store the content

of the PHP script files in shared memory, which reduces the amount of file system operations

performed by PHP engine.

Resolve File Path Cache - PHP scripts very often include or operate

with files by using relative file paths. Every file path has to be normalized to

an absolute file path by the PHP engine. When a PHP application uses many PHP files and

accesses them by relative paths, the operation of resolving the paths may negatively

impact the application's performance. The Windows Cache Extension for PHP

provides a Resolve File Path cache, which is used to store the mappings between relative

and absolute file paths, thereby reducing the number of path resolutions that the

PHP engine has to perform.

User Cache (available since version 1.1.0) - PHP scripts can take advantage of

the shared memory cache by using the user cache API's. PHP objects and variables can be stored in the

user cache and then re-used on subsequent requests. This can be used to improve performance of PHP scripts

and to share the data across multiple PHP processes.

Session Handler (available since version 1.1.0) - The WinCache session handler can be used to

store the PHP session data in the shared memory cache. This avoids file system operations for reading

and writing session data, which improves performance when large amount of data is stored in PHP session.
