Optimize php. Zend or mmcache,eaccelerator?

[bigboy]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I've tunning up my server and in a first instance I installed zend optimizer for php, but searching at the forums I discovered other scripts like mmcache or eaccelerator.

What do you consider is the best solution in order to tune up php pages?

And if I don't need Zend, how can I uninstall it?.

OS: FreeBSD5.4
Zen 2.62
DA 1.2.62
php4.4.2

remove the zend lines from bottom of php.ini and restart apache.

bear in mind zend optimiser is also the loader for zend code, so I just disabled the optimisation portion of it and use it as a loader.

I've heard that Zend optimiser is not a general purpose PHP cache (you want Zend Accelerator for that .. $1500)

Alternatives are eAccelerator (which is the forked and improved version of Turck MMCache), or APC.

A full list can be found at http://www.php.net/links.php Scroll down about halfway for the list.


BTW. eAccelerator is unstable on dual proc, or 64-bit processors.
