Deprecation notice

This project is not in active development. Issues remain with cache files sometimes being saved with invalid data and unable to be read (see: issue #3 and #4). The API is confusing and a rewrite would be necessary (for example renaming "retrive" function to "get", "store" to "set" etc.).

PHP-File-Cache

Light, simple and standalone PHP in-file caching class

Advantages

• Light, standalone and simple
• All code in one file - no pointless drivers.
• Secure - every generated cache file have a php header with die, making direct access impossible even if someone knows the path and your server is not configured properly
• Well documented and tested
• Handles concurrency correctly via flock
• Supports PHP 5.4.0 - 7.1+
• Free under a MIT license

Requirements and Installation

You need PHP 5.4.0+ for usage and PHP 5.6+ for development (PHPUnit)

Require with composer:
composer require wruczek/php-file-cache

Usage

<?php
use Wruczek\PhpFileCache\PhpFileCache;
require_once __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";

$cache = new PhpFileCache();

$data = $cache->refreshIfExpired("simple-cache-test", function () {
    return date("H:i:s"); // return data to be cached
}, 10);

echo "Latest cache save: $data";
