What are the differences in cache handling between PHP running on Windows versus Linux systems?
When running PHP on Windows, the default cache handling mechanism might differ from Linux systems. To ensure consistent cache handling across different operating systems, it's recommended to use a PHP caching library like OpCache or APCu. These libraries provide a consistent caching mechanism regardless of the underlying operating system.
// Example using OpCache for consistent cache handling
if (!extension_loaded('Zend OPcache')) {
die('OpCache extension is not loaded');
}
// Your PHP code here
