A PHP APC module packaging caveat

For any­one try­ing to build the PHP APC mod­ule, beware. The ver­sion avail­able as a Gzip’d TAR archive is miss­ing a key file, so pull the tagged release out of the PHP repos instead.

Save your­self the wasted 20 minutes I spent debug­ging the issue!

new Quandries();

I’ve been writ­ing things in PHP for the past 8 weeks that it isn’t really meant for or to do. To whit:
  • dae­mon­ised processes;
  • shared memory based meth­ods and usage (mainly around SysV sem­a­phores and segments);
  • cron exten­sions and handlers;
  • net­work con­nec­tions via SNMP and SNPP; and
  • lots of file sys­tem meth­ods (glob­bing, file man­age­ment and organisation),
I really do feel dirty.
