**Limcache** is a small non-persistent cache manager that supports LRU and MRU replacement algorithms. Also it has optional [Judy](http://pecl.php.net/package/judy) support.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 5.4
- [Judy](http://pecl.php.net/package/judy) (optional)

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

[](#installation)

You can install **Limcache** via Composer:

```
composer require herroffizier/limcache:dev-master

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

At first, choose replacement algorithm:

```
// Use LRU:
$strategy = new \Limcache\strategy\LRU(100); // 100 is max item count in cache

// Or MRU:
$strategy = new \Limcache\strategy\MRU(100);
```

After that you can create cache:

```
$cache = new \Limcache\Cache($strategy);
```

Since `\Limcache\Cache` implements `\ArrayAccess` and `\Countable` interfaces you can use it as array in most cases:

```
// Save item in cache:
$cache['key1'] = 'somedata';

// Get item value:
$cache['key1'];

// Try to get non-existent item:
$cache['key2']; // will return null

// Do some ordinary things:
count($cache);
isset($cache['key1']);
unset($cache['key1']);
```

In addition cache object has few useful methods which may help to determine cache efficiency:

```
// Get cache hits:
$cache->getHits();

// Get cache misses:
$cache->getMisses();
```
