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

[](#simplecache)

A very simplistic file cache that uses the ArrayAcces interface

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Include SimpleCache.php in your project

```
require_once 'SimpleCache\SimpleCache.php';
```

2. Instantiate the SimpleCache class and provide a cache directory

```
$cache = new \SimpleCache\SimpleCache('./tmp');
```

3. Use the `$cache` object like any array. Index names will be created as files. When you run the script again the index will still have the value you assigned it.
