If you run your own LAMP server with PHP applications, then please install it.
== Installation ==
Assuming you already have Apache2 and PHP5 (with dev extensions so PECL can run phpize), it's as easy as
<source lang="bash">
sudo ln -s /usr/share/php/apc.php
</source>
== Notes ==
APC, aside from speeding up your website, also provides a storage mechanism outside the traditional cookie/session mechanism. So, you could set an application variable or constant and (assuming that the cache is not cleared, etc.) retrieve that value from another context.
