If you need to install and enable the php_apc extension for PHP 5.5 or 5.6, there is a way to accomplish this. But before you do this, there are a few things you have to be aware of:

1. The last PHP version that had the php_apc extension included in was PHP 5.3. * Newer versions of PHP have replaced APC with php_opcache.
2. The last APC release was php_apc 3.1.14, and while it worked with PHP 5.5, it was immediately removed due to some serious memory issues that could not be fixed. * php_apc 3.1.14 is not available anywhere, it was removed from all official sources.
3. The only available release of APC is 3.1.13, and while it’s for both PHP 5.3 and 5.4, it’s only non-beta for 5.3 (i.e., not recommended for PHP 5.4).* php_apc 3.1.13 will not work with PHP 5.5+.

Having said that, APC has two parts to it…

• The opcode cache part that compiles and caches script code.
• And the data cache part that stores key/value pairs (e.g., just like memcached).

If your scripts require APC, more than likely they only do so because they use APC’s data cache part. And if you want to run those scripts under PHP 5.5 or 5.6, the APCu extension fully replaces APC, and is fully compatible with APC’s API.

APCu is the APC extension with the opcode cache part removed (which was the source of all APC issues) and the data cache part cleaned up. APCu has the same exact functions and configuration directives as APC – so it can be used as a drop-in replacement.

Also, from what I’ve gathered, APCu performs even better than memcache/memcached on single server setups (which is the case 95% of the time if you are using a WAMP such as WampDeveloper Pro).
