Rich Development API

Phpfastcache offers you a lot of usefull APIS:

  • get() // The getter, obviously
  • set() // The setter, for those who missed it
  • delete() // For removing a cached thing
  • clean() // Allow you to completely empty the cache and restart from the beginning
  • touch() // Allow you to extends the lifetime of an entry without altering the value
  • increment() // For integer that we can count on
  • decrement() // Redundant joke...
  • search() // Allow you to perform some search on the cache index
  • isExisting() // Check if your cache entry exists, it is the equivalent of isset()
  • stats() // Return the cache statistics, useful for checking disk space used by the cache etc.

As Fast To Implement As Opening a Beer

$cache = InstanceManager::getInstance();

/**
 * Try to get $products from Caching First
 * product_page is "identity keyword";
 */
$key = "product_page";
$products = $cache->get($key);

if (is_null($products)) {
    $products = "DB QUERIES | FUNCTION_GET_PRODUCTS | ARRAY | STRING | OBJECTS";
    // Write products to Cache in 10 minutes with same keyword
    $cache->set($key, $products, 600);

    echo " --> NO CACHE ---> DB | Func | API RUN FIRST TIME ---> ";

} else {
    echo " --> USE CACHE --> SERV 10,000+ Visitors FROM CACHE ---> ";
}

/**
 * use your products here or return it;
 */
echo $products;
