⚡ Simple Cache Class

This is a simple Cache Abstraction Layer for PHP >= 8.0 that provides a simple interaction with your cache-server. You can define the Adapter / Serializer in the "constructor" or the class will auto-detect you server-cache in this order:

1. Memcached / Memcache
2. Redis
3. Xcache
4. APC / APCu
5. OpCache (via PHP-files)
6. Static-PHP-Cache

Get "Simple Cache"

You can download it from here, or require it using composer.

{
  "require": {
    "voku/simple-cache": "5.*"
  }
}

Install via "composer require"

composer require voku/simple-cache

Quick Start

use voku\cache\Cache;

require_once 'composer/autoload.php';

$cache = new Cache();
$ttl = 3600; // 60s * 60 = 1h
$cache->setItem('foo', 'bar', $ttl);
$bar = $cache->getItem('foo');

Usage

use voku\cache\Cache;

$cache = new Cache();
  
if ($cache->getCacheIsReady() === true && $cache->existsItem('foo')) {
  return $cache->getItem('foo');
} else {
  $bar = someSpecialFunctionsWithAReturnValue();
  $cache->setItem('foo', $bar);
  return $bar;
}

If you have an heavy task e.g. a really-big-loop, then you can also use static-cache. But keep in mind, that this will be stored into PHP (it needs more memory).

use voku\cache\Cache;

$cache = new Cache();
  
if ($cache->getCacheIsReady() === true && $cache->existsItem('foo')) {
  for ($i = 0; $i <= 100000; $i++) {
    echo $this->cache->getItem('foo', 3); // use also static-php-cache, when we hit the cache 3-times
  }
  return $cache->getItem('foo');
} else {
  $bar = someSpecialFunctionsWithAReturnValue();
  $cache->setItem('foo', $bar);
  return $bar;
}

PS: By default, the static cache is also used by >= 10 cache hits. But you can configure this behavior via $cache->setStaticCacheHitCounter(INT).

No-Cache for the admin or a specific ip-address

If you use the parameter "$checkForUser" (=== true) in the constructor, then the cache isn't used for the admin-session.

-> You can also overwrite the check for the user, if you add a global function named "checkForDev()".

Overwrite the auto-connection option

You can overwrite the cache auto-detect via "CacheAdapterAutoManager" and the "$cacheAdapterManagerForAutoConnect" option in the "Cache"-constructor. Additional you can also activate the "$cacheAdapterManagerForAutoConnectOverwrite" option in the "Cache"-constructor, so that you can implement your own cache auto-detect logic.

$cacheManager = new \voku\cache\CacheAdapterAutoManager();

// 1. check for "APCu" support first
$cacheManager->addAdapter(
    \voku\cache\AdapterApcu::class
);

// 2. check for "APC" support
$cacheManager->addAdapter(
    \voku\cache\AdapterApcu::class
);

// 3. try "OpCache"-Cache
$cacheManager->addAdapter(
    \voku\cache\AdapterOpCache::class,
    static function () {
        $cacheDir = \realpath(\sys_get_temp_dir()) . '/simple_php_cache_opcache';

        return $cacheDir;
    }
);

// 4. try "File"-Cache
$cacheManager->addAdapter(
    \voku\cache\AdapterFileSimple::class,
    static function () {
        $cacheDir = \realpath(\sys_get_temp_dir()) . '/simple_php_cache_file';

        return $cacheDir;
    }
);


// 5. use Memory Cache as final fallback
$cacheManager->addAdapter(
    \voku\cache\AdapterArray::class
);

$cache = new \voku\cache\CachePsr16(
    null, // use auto-detection
    null, // use auto-detection
    false, // do not check for usage
    true, // enable the cache
    false, // do not check for admin session
    false, // do not check for dev
    false, // do not check for admin session
    false, // do not check for server vs. client ip
    '', // do not use "_GET"-parameter for disabling
    $cacheManager, // new auto-detection logic
    true // overwrite the auto-detection logic
);
