SimpleCache
===========

[](#simplecache)

An abstract class for implementations of PSR-16 to extend.

This package provides an abstract class independent of cache back-end that classes implementing [PSR-16](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16/) can extend.

Two extended (usable) classes of mine:

- [SimpleCacheAPCu](https://github.com/AliceWonderMiscreations/SimpleCacheAPCu)
- [SimpleCacheRedis](https://github.com/AliceWonderMiscreations/SimpleCacheRedis)

Developers wishing to write a class that extends this class, please see the [API.md](API.md) file.

About PHP-FIG and PSR-16
------------------------

[](#about-php-fig-and-psr-16)

PHP-FIG is the [PHP Framework Interop Group](https://www.php-fig.org/). They exist largely to create standards that make it easier for different developers around the world to create different projects that will work well with each other. PHP-FIG was a driving force behind the PSR-0 and PSR-4 auto-load standards for example that make it *much much* easier to integrate PHP class libraries written by other people into your web applications.

The PHP-FIG previously released PSR-6 as a Caching Interface standard but the interface requirements of PSR-6 are beyond the needs of many web application developers. KISS - ‘Keep It Simple Silly’ applies for many of us who do not need some of the features PSR-6 requires.

To meet the needs of those of us who do not need what PSR-6 implements, [PSR-16](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16/) was developed and is now an accepted standard.

When I read PSR-16, the defined interface was not *that* different from my own APCu caching class that I have personally been using for years. So I decided to make my class meet the interface requirements.

I then decided to abstract it, so that those who use something other than APCu can easily adapt this to what they use.

Coding Standard
---------------

[](#coding-standard)

The coding standard used is primarily [PSR-2](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) except with the closing `?>`allowed, and the addition of some [PHPDoc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHPDoc) requirements largely but not completely borrowed from the [PEAR standard](http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php).

The intent is switch PHPDoc standard to [PSR-5](https://github.com/phpDocumentor/fig-standards/blob/master/proposed/phpdoc.md)if it ever becomes an accepted standard.

The `phpcs` sniff rules being used: [psr2.phpcs.xml](psr2.phpcs.xml)

About AWonderPHP
----------------

[](#about-awonderphp)

I may become homeless before the end of 2018. I do not know how to survive, I try but what I try, it always seems to fail. This just is not a society people like me are meant to be a part of.

If I do become homeless, I fear my mental health will deteriorate at an accelerated rate and I do not want to witness that happening to myself.

AWonderPHP is my attempt to clean up and package a lot of the PHP classes I personally use so that something of me will be left behind.

If you wish to help, please see the [SURVIVAL.md](SURVIVAL.md) file.

Thank you for your time.
