Description:
------------
According to http://php.net/manual/en/intro.wincache.php:

The Windows Cache Extension includes 5 different types of caches. The following describes the purpose of each cache type and the benefits it provides.

    PHP Opcode Cache - PHP is a script processing engine, which reads an input stream of data that contains text and/or PHP instructions and produces another stream of data, most commonly in the HTML format. This means that on a web server the PHP engine reads, parses, compiles and executes a PHP script each time that it is requested by a Web client. The reading, parsing and compilation operations put additional load on the web server's CPU and file system and thus affect the overall performance of a PHP web application. The PHP bytecode (opcode) cache is used to store the compiled script bytecode in shared memory so that it can be re-used by PHP engine for subsequent executions of the same script.

As explained in https://forums.iis.net/t/1229349.aspx?WinCache+2+0+0+release+on+SourceForge Opcode cache was removed from Wincache a while ago.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
