Wow, thanks a lot! This looks great! I've not used APC caching before, would it be helpful to prepend a string to the key so items written to the cache by other applications on the same server are not overwritten? The Memcache cache driver does this. Like I said, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but just thought I would check!

I don't think it's necessary, because the APC isn't shared between applications.

Hmm, check out this from the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.apc.php#76772

I think two applications on the same physical machine would share APC caches, similar to Memcached.

Yes, you're right. I've added the cache key to avoid collisions.

Great, thanks for your work on this! I really appreciate it. I'll merge this in tonight!

It's not a big deal. It's a very small addition, which I've made for myself and I've thought it could be useful for someone else.
