PHP加速器APC、eAccelerator、xCache

Q132284591

　　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facebook在使用它。在http://pecl.php.net/package/APC中包含了所有apc安装包，你可以根据自己的需求选择相应的版本。state包含stable和beta两种状态,下载安装包时请留意。


# tar zxvf APC-3.1.9.tgz

# cd APC-3.1.9

# /usr/local/php5/bin/phpize

# ./configure --enable-apc --enable-apc-mmap --with-php-config=/usr/local/php5/bin/php-config

# make && make install

# cp /usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/apc.so /usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/apc.so


注：#/usr/local/php5/bin/phpize用于生成安装configure文件。


在配置文件php.ini的文件末尾加入以下内容：

[apc]
extension=apc.so
apc.enabled = 1
apc.cache_by_default = on
apc.shm_segments = 1
apc.shm_size = 128 M
apc.ttl = 7200
apc.user_ttl = 7200
apc.num_files_hint = 1024
apc.write_lock = On
apc.gc_ttl=3600
apc.ttl=0
apc.mmap_file_mask=/tmp/apc.XXXXXX
 　　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。


# 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/php5/bin/phpize

# ./configure -enable-eaccelerator=shared -with-php-config=/usr/local/php5/bin/php-config

# make && make install

# cp /usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/eaccelerator.so /usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/


创建缓存目录：

# mkdir /tmp/eaccelerator

# chmod 777 /tmp/eaccelerator


在配置文件php.ini的文件末尾加入以下内容：

[eAccelerator]
extension = eaccelerator.so
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"

 　　
3、安装配置XCache



值得一提的是XCache由国人开发,而且在速度和性能上都有不错的表现。


# 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/php5/bin/phpize

# ./configure -enable-xcache -enable-xcache-coverager -with-php-config=/usr/local/php5/php-config

# make && make install

# cp /usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xcache.so /usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/


创建缓存目录：

# mkdir /tmp/xcache

# chmod 777 /tmp/xcache


在配置文件php.ini的文件末尾加入以下内容：

[xcache]
extension = xcache.so
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 = ""

　　3、结果摘要

	请求时间(秒)	单次请求时间(毫秒)	最大内存占用(MB)	最小内存占用(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

　　

四、PHP加速器比较结果总结




1、通过测试得出eAccelerator在请求时间和内存占用综合方面是最好的。

2、通过测试得出使用加速器比无加速器在请求时间快了3倍左右。

3、通过各个官方观察，XCache是更新最快。


以上是总结结果，你也许会问我到底用那个加速器好呢？我只能告诉你，首先，用一定比不用好，其次每个加速器还有一些可以调优的参数，所以要根据你的系统环境而定，然后，我个人觉得你可以详细研究下eAccelerator和XCache，这两款潜力还是很大的。
