phpOPcache memory exhaustion and interned strings buffer limits
PHP's OPcache extension utilizes a shared memory pool to store precompiled bytecode, governed by opcache.memory_consumption and opcache.interned_strings_buffer . While the primary memory pool handles script bytecode, the interned strings buffer specifically optimizes memory by storing identical strings across different scripts. When the shared memory pool re
