Operates the same way [cachetool](https://github.com/gordalina/cachetool) does, but is much smaller. Chop can only do one thing: clear the opcache content. There is no support for the APCu cache, realpath cache and none of the extra opcache commands that cachetool has. Chop also has no dependencies besides [hollodotme/fast-cgi-client](https://github.com/hollodotme/fast-cgi-client). This makes it unlikely to conflict with the dependencies of your own project. Because of this, there is no need to use Chop as a PHAR. Installing it through Composer results in easier coupling with the PHP version of your application. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require dreadnip/chop ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This is a single-command application, so calling the binary is enough: ``` php /path/to/your/project/vendor/bin/chop ``` By default, the command will print a success message or error to the console. You can suppress this output with the `-q` option. ``` php /path/to/your/project/vendor/bin/chop -q ``` The tool attempts to use sane defaults: If no argument is passed, it'll look for a php-fpm socket file in the following places: ``` private const POSSIBLE_SOCKET_FILE_PATTERNS = [ '~/.sock/*.sock', '/var/run/php*.sock', '/var/run/php/*.sock', '/var/run/php-fpm/*.sock', ]; ``` This should find your socket file on most Linux distributions. If we forgot a common location, please open an issue/PR. If multiple socket files are found, it'll try to select one by checking the filename for both the major and minor number of your PHP version. For example: if your server has the followning socket files, and you're running PHP 8.1, it'll select the socket file with both 8 and 1 in the filename. ``` php_80_fpm_sites.sock **php_81_fpm_sites.sock** php_82_fpm_sites.sock ``` When no file socket file can be found, it will default to 127.0.0.1:9000. If the defaults don't work for you, you can also explicitly pass an IP address or a path to a socket file using the --fcgi option: ``` php /path/to/your/project/vendor/bin/chop --fcgi /var/run/php-fpm.sock ``` Deployer integration -------------------- [](#deployer-integration) Define a task with the command ``` task('clear:opcache', function () { run('{{bin/php}} {{ release_path }}/vendor/bin/chop'); }); ``` Call the task after your deployment ``` after('deploy:symlink', 'clear:opcache'); ``` Or run it manually ``` dep clear:opcache stage=production -vvv ``` Credit ------ [](#credit) This tool is of course inspired and based on the awesome [cachetool](https://github.com/gordalina/cachetool). Just like cachetool, the FastCGI socket code is handled by [hollodotme/fast-cgi-client](https://github.com/hollodotme/fast-cgi-client). ### Health Score 45 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance58 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity40 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
