Answer 1

For php 5.3 you use php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1.10-5.3-vc9-x86.zip.

Download it and copy php_apc.dll to your php ext directory. (I choose the file under ts I have thread safe php installation. There is also an apc dll file for non thread safe.)

Add extension=php_apc.dll into your php.ini file

Restart your web server

Run phpinfo() to see if it's installed or not.

I am using php 5.4 and I downloaded php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1.10-5.4-vc9-x86.zip and its working fine.

Hope this will help mate.Good luck.
