CacheTool is a PHP CLI application and library for managing APCu, OPcache, and the file status cache from the command line. It connects to a FastCGI server such as PHP-FPM (or runs via cli/web adapters) to clear caches and inspect statistics without reloading PHP or exposing web endpoints.

Use cases

• clear opcache without reloading php-fpm
• invalidate apcu cache from the command line
• cron job for php cache invalidation
• view opcache statistics from the console
• clear php realpath cache via fastcgi
• manage php bytecode cache in deployment scripts

When to choose

• you run PHP-FPM and need to flush OPcache/APCu without a web endpoint or service reload
• you want scriptable or cron-driven cache invalidation for PHP
• you need to inspect PHP cache statistics from a terminal or CI pipeline

When to avoid

• you need cache management for non-PHP runtimes like Redis or Memcached
• you only need per-worker file status cache clearing across a whole FPM pool, since stat:clear affects only one worker
• you want a GUI or web dashboard for cache monitoring
