Xcache all the way.

Wish I could help. Anyone with the right tools could compile it on Windows from source code. I can compile a few things on a *nix system, but have never done so with Windows. I'd like to have a Windows build myself, just for my testing platform...

Here's the site i was talking about:

http://www.sitebuddy.com/PHP/Acceler...inaries_builds

Sadly, they dont have recent builds.

I also don't know if the source is legitimate.

XCache doesn't seem to play nice with IonCube, so today, I switched to APC

See http://blog.harddisk.is-a-geek.org/i...hp-on-windows/ on how to compile your own on windows.

Hmmm, step 1 could be a show stopper

get visual studio 2008 .... and install it

[Marco van Herwaarden]

I actually doubt that is really required, but there are also free versions available: http://msdn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/expr...lt(en-us).aspx

Hi Marco,

That page shows how to compile PHP, but not APC. Still, it should not be too much different from compiling APC on *nix systems, other than hoping that the dependencies are not too difficult to figure out. I just don't know my way around Visual Studio 2008 enough to recommend anything here just yet.

Still learning after all these years!

Hmm actually that page was linked from the official APC manual page. Didn't fully read it.

I'll have to look at that manual page myself, too. Sometimes semi-"official" builds are buried deep in a site somewhere...
