一直想找一些关于PHP加速的文章，偶然看到杀客的这篇文章，感觉不错，分享给大家，再此感谢杀客。

一、PHP加速器介绍

PHP加速器是一个为了提高PHP执行效率，从而缓存起PHP的操作码，这样PHP后面执行就不用解析转换了，可以直接调用PHP操作码，这样速度上就提高了不少。

Apache中使用mod_php的请求、响应执行流程：

1、Apache接收请求。
2、Apache传递请求给mod_php。
3、mod_php定位磁盘文件，并加载到内存中。
4、mod_php编译源代码成为opcode树。
5、mod_php执行opcode树。

PHP加速器相应的就是第四步，它的目的就是防止PHP每次请求都重复编译PHP代码，因为在高访问量的网站上，大量的编译往往没有执行速度快呢？所以这里面有个瓶颈就是PHP的重复编译既影响了速度又加载了服务器负载，为了解决此问题，PHP加速器就这样诞生了。

二、PHP加速器安装与配置

1、安装配置APC

APC全称是Alternative PHP Cache,官方翻译叫”可选PHP缓存”,它是PHP PECL中的一个扩展，好像是facebook在使用它，下面开始安装（ubuntu环境）：
$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

下面我们再配置APC,因为我的PECL扩展路径改变了，所以我得移动下编译好的文件：
$sudo mv /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/apc.so /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/PECL

然后我们再编辑php.ini文件进行配置，请把下面的代码加入到php.ini中即可：
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

这样重启apache就会在phpinfo()信息中显示。

2、安装配置eAccelerator

eAccelerator的前身其实是truck-mmcache，因为开发truk-mmcache的人被Zend给招安了，所以开发 eAccelerator的人继承了truk-mmcache的一些特性，设计出eAccelerator加速器。安装如下：
$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

将下面代码加入php.ini文件中
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”

创建缓存目录,重启apache

$sudo mkdir /tmp/eaccelerator
$sudo chmod 777 /tmp/eaccelerator
$sudo /usr/local/apache/apachectl restart

在phpinfo()检查是否安装成功.

3、安装配置XCache

XCache作为国人自己开发的东西，做小菜鸟的我也感到骄傲，而且XCache无论在速度还是性能上都做的不错。下面就赶紧让我们品尝它吧！

$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

在php.ini添加配置信息：

extension = xcache.so
; xcache
xcache.admin.user = “admin”
xcache.admin.pass = “(执行) echo ’(你的密码)’|md5sum(得出的密文)”
;
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 = “”

创建缓存目录，重启apache

$sudo mkdir /tmp/xcache
$sudo chmod 777 /tmp/xcache
$sudo /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart

去查看phpinfo()信息吧！
