Tested up to PHP 8.5.

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

[](#installation)

Make sure that you have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) installed and then run the following command.

```
composer require rundiz/simple-cache

```

Example
-------

[](#example)

We currently support APC, APCu, Memcache, Memcached, File system drivers. These are how to initialize for each driver class.

```
// For Memcache driver
$memcache = new \Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
$SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Memcached($memcache);
unset($memcache);

// For Memcached driver
$memcached = new \Memcached;
$memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
$SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Memcached($memcached);
unset($memcached);

// For APC (deprecated, use APCu instead).
$SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Apc();

// For APCu
$SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Apcu();

// For File system (very basic cache driver)
$SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\FileSystem();

// For memory cache (This is using PHP array, if class was unset everything will be removed)
$SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Memory();
```

Common methods to get, set, delete, or anything else please read more at [PSR-16 document](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16/).
Examples.

```
// To get or fetch cache data.
$SimpleCache->get('cache_key');

// To get multiple cache data.
$SimpleCache->getMultiple(['cache_key1', 'cache_key2']);

// To check cache exists.
$SimpleCache->has('cache_key');

// To save cache data.
$SimpleCache->set('cache_key', 'cache data. (any type of data... string, integer, double, array, object, etc.)', 90);

// To save multiple cache data.
$SimpleCache->setMultiple([
    'cache_key1' => 'string value',
    'cache_key2' => 12345,
], 90);

// To delete cache.
$SimpleCache->delete('cache_key');

// To delete multiple cache.
$SimpleCache->deleteMultiple(['cache_key1', 'cache_key2']);

// To clear all cached.
$SimpleCache->clear();
```

### Fallback cache drivers

[](#fallback-cache-drivers)

You can set many cache drivers as fallback in case that some driver is not installed on the server.

```
if (class_exists('\\Memcached')) {
    $memcached = new \Memcached;
    $memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
    $SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Memcached($memcached);
    unset($memcached);
} elseif (class_exists('\\Memcache')) {
    $memcache = new \Memcache;
    $memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
    $SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Memcached($memcache);
    unset($memcache);
} elseif (function_exists('apcu_fetch')) {
    $SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\Apcu();
} else {
    $SimpleCache = new \Rundiz\SimpleCache\Drivers\FileSystem();
}
```

### Namespace/Sub folders for file system cache

[](#namespacesub-folders-for-file-system-cache)

In file system cache, you can use namespace or sub folders by just add "." (dot) to the cache id.
For example: `$SimpleCache->set('Model.Accounts.id1', $userdata, 120);`.
This will save the cache file to **Model/Accounts/id1** folder.
