CacheTool
A CLI tool and library to manage APCu, OPcache, and file status cache via FastCGI, CLI, or HTTP.
What is CacheTool?
CacheTool is a command-line utility and PHP library that enables direct interaction with PHP's caching systems (APCu, OPcache, and file status cache) from the terminal. It connects to PHP-FPM or other FastCGI servers to perform cache operations without requiring web endpoints or service restarts, solving problems like cache invalidation, debugging, and maintenance automation.
PHP developers and system administrators who need to manage PHP caches (APCu, OPcache, file status) in production, staging, or development environments, especially those using PHP-FPM or FastCGI servers.
Developers choose CacheTool because it provides a scriptable, CLI-based interface to clear, inspect, and manipulate PHP caches without restarting services or exposing web endpoints, offering flexibility with multiple adapters (FastCGI, CLI, HTTP) and support for automation via cron jobs or Docker containers.
