php apc.filters syntax

Question

I am having trouble understanding the format required by the apc.filters directive in PHP APC configuration. (particularly for more than one patterns)

The manual says "A comma-separated list of POSIX extended regular expressions."

Let's say i don't want to cache two files namely brooklyn.php and boston.php

I put the following entry:

apc.filters = "-(.*)/brooklyn\.php$, -(.*)/boston\.php$"

It still caches

I also tried

apc.filters = "-(.*)/brooklyn\.php$", "-(.*)/boston\.php$"

Still caches

I would really appreciate if someone could write a sample expression that has multiple patterns.

I know it's a old question, but could you confirm if you have found a solution or any of the answers work? — simonthesorcerer, Mar 26 '14 at 12:07

Wouldn't this do the trick?

apc.filters = "-/brooklyn\.php$,-/boston\.php$"

or

apc.filters = "-/(brooklyn|boston)\.php$"

Can't wait to see if you get any answers. I could never get the "dis-include" to work (my related question: apc.filters by path?) Only worked for me by turning off cache_by_default and +ing instead of -ing paths.

i had the same problem and finally found the way to go. You just have to remove spaces after each comma.
