# apc_cache_info

Retrieves cached information from APC's data store

### Description

array apc_cache_info ([ string `$cache_type` = "" [, bool `$limited` = false ]] )

Retrieves cached information and meta-data from APC's data store.

### Parameters

`cache_type`

  If `cache_type` is "user", information about the user cache will be returned.

  If `cache_type` is "filehits", information about which files have been served from the bytecode cache for the current request will be returned. This feature must be enabled at compile time using --enable-filehits .

  If an invalid or no `cache_type` is specified, information about the system cache (cached files) will be returned.

`limited`

  If `limited` is `TRUE`, the return value will exclude the individual list of cache entries. This is useful when trying to optimize calls for statistics gathering.

### Return Values

Array of cached data (and meta-data) or `FALSE` on failure

> Note: apc_cache_info will raise a warning if it is unable to retrieve APC cache data. This typically occurs when APC is not enabled.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
3.0.11 | The `limited` parameter was introduced.
3.0.16 | The "filehits" option for the `cache_type` parameter was introduced.

### Examples

Example #1 A apc_cache_info example

`<?php
print_r(apc_cache_info());
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    Array
    (
        [num_slots] => 2000
        [ttl] => 0
        [num_hits] => 9
        [num_misses] => 3
        [start_time] => 1123958803
        [cache_list] => Array
            (
                [0] => Array
                    (
                        [filename] => /path/to/apc_test.php
                        [device] => 29954
                        [inode] => 1130511
                        [type] => file
                        [num_hits] => 1
                        [mtime] => 1123960686
                        [creation_time] => 1123960696
                        [deletion_time] => 0
                        [access_time] => 1123962864
                        [ref_count] => 1
                        [mem_size] => 677
                    )
                [1] => Array (...iterates for each cached file)
    )
