Trying to turn off caching in MAMP for development, waiting for cache to expire after making small changes is killing my productivity. (Problem started when I changed to PHP 5.5.3, changing back doesn't fix it)
After researching I've taken the following steps to (unsuccessfully) disable cache:
Commented out OPcache lines in php.ini and reset mamp. (and tried zero values shown)
;zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/opcache.so"
; opcache.memory_consumption=0
; opcache.interned_strings_buffer=0
; opcache.max_accelerated_files=0
; opcache.revalidate_freq=0
; opcache.fast_shutdown=1
; opcache.enable_cli=0
added PHP headers
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
added html headers
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
I'm also using the option in google chrome to turn off caching when dev tools are open.
I'm lost here, can't think of anything else I can do to disable cache.
After changing PHP - OR - HTML code I have to wait about 2 mins for it to take effect. However database changes seem to take effect immediately so I think its a server side opcache.
Is there another cache that MAMP uses that I need to disable? (or a different step?)
@Philippe, Ensure you commented out OPcache in
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/conf/php.ini
not the one in
/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.5.3/php.ini
