ps-file-cache
=============

[](#ps-file-cache)

A simple file cache for PHP

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require arkonsoft/ps-file-cache`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a new instance of the cache:

```
use Arkonsoft\PsModule\FileCache;
...
$cache = new FileCache(__DIR__ . '/cache/');

```

Store a value in the cache:

```
$cache->store('key', 'value');

```

Get a value from the cache:

```
$value = $cache->retrieve('key');

```

Retrieve method will also check whether the key is expired or not. You can turn off this feature by passing false as the second argument:

```
$value = $cache->retrieve('key', false);

```
