PHP_Wincache - Wincache for PHP 5.4

** Update **: Microsoft's official release of Wincache 1.3 for PHP 5.4 is now available on the Wincache home page: http://www.iis.net/download/wincacheforphp

Here is Wincache version 1.3 BETA, for php 5.4 on IIS with FastCGI.

Note that Wincache also works under the following Apache configuration on Windows:

• Apache 2.2 built on VC9 (from apachelounge) with mod_fcgid as the FastCGI handler.

Download:

• php_wincache.dll for PHP 5.4 NTS only, there is no thread-safe version.  This build is for PHP NTS x86 built with VC9, the standard PHP release for IIS (there's a link to Microsoft's builds at the bottom of this post, I didn't spot it before writing this, but it makes my build a bit pointless).

Microsoft has not officially released this code yet, so there must still be some problems to iron out.  I tested it for 20 minutes and it seemed to work fine, but I did not test the user cache functions, or make any measurements of time and memory consumption.


Links:

• Wincache official homepage from the fantastic IIS site, one of my favourites, well worth exploring.
• Wincache PECL page - the build above is from the beta source 1.3.0 at 2012-04-26.

DOH!!

I took my own advice and did some exploring on IIS.net, and found a link to Microsoft's own pre-release builds for Wincache... here is the link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wincache/files/development/.  I did quite a bit of searching before deciding to build my own, then found this one almost immediately after doing it!
