A PHP Class to cache frequently accessed Data to a file.

This is intended to be used to cache larger datasets such as database reports to prevent repetative and time / resource consuming data queries.

Usage

```
$file = "my-cache-file"; // File to Use for Cache
$time = "300"; // Seconds to Cache For

$cache = new DataCache($file, $time);
$data = $cache->read();

// Output Cached Version if present
if ($data) {
    die($data);
}

// Write to Cache and Output of not present
$data = rand(1,15);
$cache->write($data);
die($data);
