Hi,
Thanks for the email.

I'd forgotten about this idea, but when I did testing way back it didn't
make much difference to be honest. I'll check again and if I can measure a
difference then I'll add it in. For sites with 100's or 1000's of scripts it
may make more of difference than only 40 or 50 scripts.

Why did you ever want to do this? Was it because you had disabled timestamp
checking? If you set a sensible shm_ttl value then this probably isn't
necessary. But it is an option that's been on my todo list for
phpa_cache_admin for a long time. However I have no plans to provide
functions that can be called from php at the moment.

Hannes Edinger has a great interface for this that sits on top of
phpa_cache_admin. It doesn't display cache hits, but again I'd argue that it
isn't particularly useful anyway, particularly because unless the cache is
undersized, you'll be getting a 100% cache hit rate. The main thing is to be
sure that you have an appropriately sized cache. My goal is very much for
you to able to install phpa and forget about it.
However, it might be interesting to have statistics on the most accessed
scripts, and again, that can be added to the cache_admin tool.
