Cache library
CodeIgniter Cache library is a partial caching library for CodeIgniter. It allows you to write and get chunks of data to and from the filesystem. By storing complex or large chunks of data in serialized form on the file system you can relieve stress from the database or simply cache calls to third-party data sources like Twitter.
Requirements
- CodeIgniter
- PHP 5
Download
ZIP, GZ or BZ2 from BitBucket.
Usage
// Uncached model call
$this->blog_m->getPosts($category_id, 'live');
// cached model call
$this->cache->model('blog_m', 'getPosts', array($category_id, 'live'), 120); // keep for 2 minutes
$this->cache->library('some_library', 'calcualte_something', array($foo, $bar, $bla)); // keep for default time (0 = unlimited)
$this->cache->write($data, 'cached-name');
$data = $this->cache->get('cached-name');
$this->cache->delete('cached-name');
Installation
Permission your cache folder to be writeable by the web server.
