I have been looking for articles on PHP acceleration，Chance to seeKill offThis article，Feeling good，For everyone to share，Again thank kill off。
one、PHP Accelerator Introduction
PHP is an accelerator in order to improve the efficiency of PHP，Thus from PHP opcode cache，PHP execution behind this would not resolve the converted，PHP opcode can invoke direct，On such speed is increased a lot。
Apache's request to use mod_php、In response to the flow of execution：
1、Apache receives a request。
2、Apache pass the request to the mod_php。
3、mod_php locate a disk file，And loaded into memory。
4、mod_php compile the source code tree becomes opcode。
5、mod_php execution opcode tree。
PHP is the fourth step of the corresponding accelerator，Its purpose is to prevent repeated every request to compile PHP PHP code，Because in high-traffic sites，Often not a lot of compiler execution speed fast? So there are a bottleneck that compiles PHP affects both the speed and load server load，In order to solve this problem，PHP accelerator was born。
two、PHP Accelerator Installation and Configuration
1、APC Installation and Configuration
APC stands for Alternative PHP Cache,The official translation is called "Optional PHP cache",It is an extension of PHP PECL，It seems to be using facebook，Here begin the installation (ubuntu environment)：
$wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.0.19.tgz
$tar xvzf APC-3.0.19.tgz
$cd APC-3.0.19/APC-3.0.19
$/usr/local/php/bin/phpize
$./configure –enable-apc –enable-apc-mmap –with-php-config=/usr/local/php/bin/php-config
$make
$sudo make install
Here we configure APC,Because I changed the path of PECL extension，So I have to move under the compiled file：
$sudo mv /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/apc.so /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/PECL
Then we edit the php.ini configuration file，Please add the following code to the php.ini to：
extension_dir = “/usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/PECL”
extension = apc.so
; APC
apc.enabled = 1
apc.shm_segments = 1
apc.shm_size = 64
apc.optimization = 1
apc.num_files_hint = 0
apc.ttl = 0
apc.gc_ttl = 3600
apc.cache_by_default = on
This will restart apache in phpinfo()Information display。
2、Installation configuration eAccelerator
eAccelerator is actually the predecessor of truck-mmcache，Because the development truk-mmcache Zend people were given amnesty，Therefore, the development eAccelerator who inherited some of the characteristics truk-mmcache，EAccelerator accelerator design。Installation is as follows：
$wget http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/eaccelerator/eaccelerator-0.9.5.tar.bz2
$tar -jxf eaccelerator-0.9.5.tar.bz2
$cd eaccelerator-0.9.5
$/usr/local/php/bin/phpize
$./configure –enable-eaccelerator=shared –with-php-config=/usr/local/php/bin/php-config
$make
$sudo make install
$sudo mv /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/eaccelerator.so /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/PECL
The following code to your php.ini file
extension = eaccelerator.so
; eAccelerator
eaccelerator.shm_size = “16”
eaccelerator.cache_dir = “/tmp/eaccelerator”
eaccelerator.enable = “1”
eaccelerator.optimizer = “1”
eaccelerator.check_mtime = “1”
eaccelerator.debug = “0”
eaccelerator.filter = “”
eaccelerator.shm_max = “0”
eaccelerator.shm_ttl = “0”
eaccelerator.prune_period = “0”
eaccelerator.shm_only = “0”
eaccelerator.compress = “1”
eaccelerator.compress_level = “9”
Create cache directory,Restart apache
$sudo mkdir /tmp/eaccelerator
$sudo chmod 777 /tmp/eaccelerator
$sudo /usr/local/apache/apachectl restart
At phpinfo()Check whether the installation was successful.
3、Installation and Configuration XCache
XCache own people as something to be developed，I also do little rookie proud，And XCache in terms of speed and performance are doing well。Here quickly let us taste it now!
$wget http://xcache.lighttpd.net/pub/Releases/1.2.2/xcache-1.2.2.tar.gz
$tar xvzf xcache-1.2.2.tar.gz
$cd xcache-1.2.2
$/usr/local/php/bin/phpize
$./configure –enable-xcache –enable-xcache-coverager –with-php-config=/usr/local/php/php-config
$make
$sudo make install
$sudo mv /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xcache.so /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/PECL
In php.ini add configuration information：
extension = xcache.so
; xcache
xcache.admin.user = “admin”
xcache.admin.pass = “(carried out) echo ’(Your password)’|md5sum(Resulting ciphertext)”
;
xcache.size = 24M
xcache.shm_scheme = “mmap”
xcache.count = 2
xcache.slots = 8k
xcache.ttl = 0
xcache.gc_interval = 0
xcache.var_size = 8M
xcache.var_count = 1
xcache.var_slots = 8k
xcache.var_ttl = 0
xcache.var_maxttl = 0
xcache.var_gc_interval = 300
xcache.test = Off
xcache.readonly_protection = On
xcache.mmap_path = “/tmp/xcache”
xcache.coredump_directory = “”
xcache.cacher = On
xcache.stat = On
xcache.optimizer = Off
;
xcache.coverager = On
xcache.coveragedump_directory = “”
Create cache directory，Restart apache
$sudo mkdir /tmp/xcache
$sudo chmod 777 /tmp/xcache
$sudo /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
To view the phpinfo()Information now!

3、Results Summary
| Request Time(second) | Single request time(millisecond) | The maximum memory footprint(MB) | The minimum memory footprint(MB) |
| None | 10.41 | 96.08 | 24 | 24 |
| APC | 30.45 | 32.84 | 21 | 21 |
| eAccelerator | 31.26 | 31.99 | 23 | 18 |
| XCache | 30.28 | 33.02 | 29 | 19 |
four、PHP accelerator comparison summary
1、EAccelerator obtained by testing at request time and overall memory footprint area is best。
2、Test results using the ratio of the accelerator by accelerator-free request time about three times faster。
3、By observing the various official，XCache is the fastest updates，It also shows that most of the development。
These are the summary results，You might ask me in the end with the accelerator good? I can only tell you，First of all，Use must be better than no，Secondly, each of the accelerator some parameters can tune，So according to your system environment，then，Personally, I think you can study in detail under eAccelerator and XCache，Both still great potential，Finally, I get a map from the results of a more professional test site：
