Botman PHP 7.2.4 opcache

Question

I am tring to get a simple conversation working and the response fails, I need to know how to use opcache with botman and php 7.2.4 - WAMP

I have modified the php.ini file adding the zend_extension setting, following the documentation I have use:

use BotMan\BotMan\Cache\DoctrineCache;

$botman = BotManFactory::create($config, new DoctrineCache($doctrineCacheDriver));

This gives and undefined variable: doctrineCacheDriver error

The function uses a $driver variable, is there additional settings that need to be configured.

Any help setting up cache, php 7 on wamp, would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

If you are still looking for an answer to this or someone in the future follow the following steps.

1. Install APCu on Windows (WAMPP/XAMPP) using this guide .
2. Run composer require doctrine/cache from your CLI inside your project/ app directory

Then make an instance of the cache class/driver

$doctrineCacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcuCache();

Thats when you can pass it to BotmanFactory as the as a parameter like below

$botman = BotManFactory::create($config, new DoctrineCache($doctrineCacheDriver));

You were getting that error because the

$doctrineCacheDriver

was not defined
