title: PHP interpreter Opcache
body: <p><strong>My information:</strong></p>
  
  <p>PHP is a programming language which uses an interpreter.</p>
  
  <p>The interpreter is a compiled software between the source code and the machine.</p>
  
  <p>It reads and analyses the source code at runtime and starts its own Subroutines based on the source code. </p>
  
  <p>Its not compiling or translating the code into something new which could be saved because its a kind of executing the code.</p>
  
  <p>The Opcache by Zend is able to store precompiled bytecode and to use it again. (I know how it generally works.)</p>

  <p><strong>My question:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Where does the Opcache gets his precompiled scripts from when the interpreter is not compiling?</p>
