Laravel OPcache

This package contains some useful Artisan commands to work with PHP OPcache.

If you want to learn more about OPcache and what it can do for your Laravel app, you can read the article on Medium.

Requirements

This package requires Laravel 5.5 or newer. For older Laravel versions (5.1 or newer), you can use version 1.3.0

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require appstract/laravel-opcache

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Appstract\Opcache\OpcacheServiceProvider" --tag="config"

For Lumen:

// bootstrap/app.php
$app->register(Appstract\Opcache\OpcacheServiceProvider::class);
$app->configure('opcache');

// config/app.php (Only if you already have a custom app.php file)
'url' => env('APP_URL'),

// config/opcache.php
'url' => env('OPCACHE_URL', env('APP_URL')),
'verify_ssl' => true,
'headers' => [],
'directories' => [
    base_path('app'),
    base_path('bootstrap'),
    base_path('public'),
    base_path('routes'),
    base_path('vendor/appstract'),
    base_path('vendor/composer'),
    base_path('vendor/laravel/lumen-framework'),
    base_path('vendor/illuminate'),
]

Make sure your APP_URL is set correctly in .env. If you want to set a different url to call the OPcache routes (for use with a load balancer for example), you can set OPCACHE_URL.

You will also need an encryption key set in your .env file. Since Lumen does not have a artisan generate command, you can create a tempoary route to generate one for you.

$router->get('/key', function() {
    return 'base64:'.base64_encode(random_bytes(32));  
});

Put the results in your .env file:

APP_KEY=

Usage

Login to your server/vm and run one of the commands.

Requests are only excepted from the same IP as the server IP.

Clear OPcache:

php artisan opcache:clear

Show OPcache config:

php artisan opcache:config

Show OPcache status:

php artisan opcache:status

Pre-compile your application code:

php artisan opcache:optimize

Programmatic usage:

use Appstract\Opcache\OpcacheFacade as OPcache;

...

OPcache::clear();
