APC on PHP5.4 Windows

APC (Alternative PHP Cache for bytecode caching and object storage) isn’t bundled with Windows.

This seemed to work (basic test on PHP 5.4.11). This Stackoverflow answer was helpful.

Download a DLL from http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/apc/3.1.14/
(php_apc-3.1.14-5.4-ts-vc9-x86.zip at the time of writing)
Put in php/ext dir
Add extension=php_apc.dll to php.ini
Restart Apache

Other pages with Windows DLLs linked from that Stackoverflow discussion did not work for me.

Workflow

Sick of cmd starting in c:\Users\me and having to type a long path to cd?

Create a .bat file and save it in c:\Windows\System32 (as Admin)
Save as mypath.bat, or perhaps even something logical.

@ECHO OFF
cd c:\path_i\commonly_want_to\go\to\

Then in cmd just type mypath and you’ll get where you want to go.
