Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

`mysqlnd_qc.enable_qc` integer

  Enables or disables the plugin. If disabled the extension will not plug into mysqlnd to proxy internal mysqlnd C API calls.

`mysqlnd_qc.ttl` integer

  Default Time-to-Live (TTL) for cache entries in seconds.

`mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default` integer

  Cache all queries regardless if they begin with the SQL hint that enables caching of a query or not. Storage handler cannot overrule the setting. It is evaluated by the core of the plugin.

`mysqlnd_qc.cache_no_table` integer

  Whether to cache queries with no table name in any of columns meta data of their result set, for example, SELECT SLEEP(1), SELECT NOW(), SELECT SUBSTRING().

`mysqlnd_qc.use_request_time` integer

  Use PHP global request time to avoid gettimeofday() system calls? If using APC storage handler it should be set to the value of apc.use_request_time , if not warnings will be generated.

`mysqlnd_qc.time_statistics` integer

  Collect run time and store time statistics using gettimeofday() system call? Data will be collected only if you also set mysqlnd_qc.collect_statistics = 1,

`mysqlnd_qc.collect_statistics` integer

  Collect statistics for mysqlnd_qc_get_core_stats()? Does not influence storage handler statistics! Handler statistics can be an integral part of the handler internal storage format. Therefore, collection of some handler statistics cannot be disabled.

`mysqlnd_qc.collect_statistics-log-file` integer

  If mysqlnd_qc.collect_statistics and mysqlnd_qc.collect_statistics_log_file are set, the plugin will dump statistics into the specified log file at every 10th web request during PHP request shutdown. The log file needs to be writable by the web server user.

  Since 1.1.0.

`mysqlnd_qc.collect_query_trace` integer

  Collect query back traces?

`mysqlnd_qc.query_trace_bt_depth` integer

  Maximum depth/level of a query code backtrace.

`mysqlnd_qc.ignore_sql_comments` integer

  Whether to remove SQL comments from a query string before hashing it to generate a cache key. Disable if you do not want two statemts such as SELECT /*my_source_ip=123*/ id FROM test and SELECT /*my_source_ip=456*/ id FROM test to refer to the same cache entry.

  Since 1.1.0.

`mysqlnd_qc.slam_defense` integer

  Activates handler based slam defense (cache stampeding protection) if available. Supported by Default and APC storage handler

`mysqlnd_qc.slam_defense_ttl` integer

  TTL for stale cache entries which are served while another client updates the entries. Supported by APC storage handler.

`mysqlnd_qc.collect_normalized_query_trace` integer

  Collect aggregated normalized query traces? The setting has no effect by default. You compile the extension using the define NORM_QUERY_TRACE_LOG to make use of the setting.

`mysqlnd_qc.std_data_copy` integer

  Default storage handler: copy cached wire data? EXPERIMENTAL – use default setting!

`mysqlnd_qc.apc_prefix` string

  The APC storage handler stores data in the APC user cache. The setting sets a prefix to be used for cache entries.

`mysqlnd_qc.memc_server` string

  MEMCACHE storage handler: memcache server host.

`mysqlnd_qc.memc_port` integer

  MEMCACHE storage handler: memcached server port.

`mysqlnd_qc.sqlite_data_file` string

  sqlite storage handler: data file. Any setting but :memory: may be of little practical value.
