When I save changes to a PHP file and then reload, it continues to execute the old version of the script for a minute or so regardless of how many refreshes I do. After 1 minute (or so) it executes the current version.
How do I disable this behaviour so changes occur immediately?
Setup is PHP-FPM with Nginx.
My solution was in the Zend OPCache configuration rather than APC.
I installed the vanilla version of WNMP (PHP 5.5.11) on my Windows 8.1 box and discovered in my php.ini
file's [opcache]
section that the Zend OPCache was enabled and only checking file changes once every 60 seconds (opcache.revalidate_freq=60
). Look for that config directive and set it to 0
to force the OPCache to check php files on each request.
I had the same issue. My was related to APC extension caching.
You can use the PHP function apc_clear_cache.
In my case (localhost dev server, Nginx 1.10.0, PHP 7.0.13, no OPCache, no APC), setting realpath_cache_ttl to 0 and then restarting the PHP-FPM service did a trick. But one has to be careful changing this value on production server.
using APC? check your APC section in php.ini
make sure apc.stat=1
