Update documentation on apcu ini settings

[nikic]

http://php.net/manual/en/apcu.configuration.php seems to be mostly copied from the APC docs and a lot of things refer to the no longer existing file cache. Furthermore a number of ini settings like apc.rfc1867 no longer exist (at least in apcu 5.1.x).

Does it makes sense to split apc and apcu this days? I seen few times apcu_bc still used

I think you need to provide some detailed configuration information, and I will update it.

That would be nice to remove that from the documentation, I was thinking that apc.rfc1867 was still working

@williamdes These have already been removed quite a while ago in php/doc-en@7ff4c27. Which documentation are you looking at?

Thank you for your kind response, it is in

apcu/INSTALL

Line 292 in b68953c

apc.rfc1867 RFC1867 File Upload Progress hook handler is only available

Because it is still shipped with the extension I still had some hope

Could you give me an official confirmation that apcu has no way to provide upload progress so I can remove the code from phpMyAdmin?
And the two only methods are uploadprogress from pecl and session upload progress

(sorry if that falls a bit off topic)

@williamdes I've deleted that INSTALL file in c2ca04f, it was pretty outdated. And yes, there is no upload progress support in apcu.

Also going to close this issue, as I think it's been mostly addressed in the meantime...

@williamdes Also really off-topic, but: Why don’t you use a JS based upload progress method like dropzoneJS or many others instead of relying on the server capabilities?

This is a very good question I also asked myself, maybe we should use some JS lib. I did a quick search some days ago and I think that http://www.resumablejs.com/ is a better choice, the actual PHP code is old and not maintained but since I re-wrote some of it that could be a solution: https://github.com/code-lts/resumable.php

yay !

I think the conclusion is that old code needs to be replaced but keeping in mind all the previous upload methods still have to work, etc.. 😸
