To disable the APC (Alternative PHP Cache) module in PHP command line scripts or cron scripts, you need to add the following code at the beginning of your script:
ini_set('apc.enabled', 0);
// rest of your script here
This sets the apc.enabled
configuration option to 0
for the current script, disabling the APC module for the duration of the script. The APC module will still be available for other scripts running on the same server.
