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 48 — FairBetter than 95% of packages Maintenance70 Regular maintenance activity Popularity39 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 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.
