there is a bug in version 3.0.10 that keeps it from working! it always returns false and doesnt load the constants (even though apc_define_constants saved it correctly in memory)!
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/apc/php_apc.c?r1=3.85&r2=3.86
i spent hours looking for this one, went throught dozens of google-result-pages, asked other people, looked through the coed for obvious error... hope it helps others
apc_load_constants
(PECL apc:3.0.0-3.0.9)
apc_load_constants — Loads a set of constants from the cache
Description
bool apc_load_constants
( string $key
[, bool $case_sensitive
] )
Loads a set of constants from the cache.
Parameters
- key
-
The name of the constant set (that was stored with apc_define_constants()) to be retrieved.
- case_sensitive
-
The default behaviour for constants is to be declared case-sensitive; i.e. CONSTANT and Constant represent different values. If this parameter evaluates to FALSE the constants will be declared as case-insensitive symbols.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 apc_load_constants() example
<?php
$constants = array(
'ONE' => 1,
'TWO' => 2,
'THREE' => 3,
);
apc_define_constants('numbers', $constants);
apc_load_constants('numbers');
echo ONE, TWO, THREE;
?>
The above example will output:
123
