PHP & APC vs Zend

[Amin Taheri]

Does anyone know if APC is compatibly with Zend - I know that eAccelerator is not, only one of the two can be installed - and if so is there any benifit to using it over zend in a shared hosting?

I know there are several benifits in a dedicated when one customer needs it for vbulletin or something, but Ive never used it in shared.

The key issue is the loading order. Also if you use them as an extension or zend_extension. I don't recall off the top of my head the order but I've setup boxes with both Eaccelerator and Zend.

Also, you may want to take a look at Xcache.

If this is for performance reasons on a busy site, I suggest some benchmarking and testing. I found Xcache to be 30% faster on one of our client's sites than Eaccelerator.
