Filecached - PHP datastore
==========================

[](#filecached---php-datastore)

A simple key-value datastore using filesystem instead of memory.

Useful for caching large datasets, and replacing memcache on low memory AWS instances.

Credit to  for the original.

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

[](#installation)

Add the following line to your composer.json file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "sharnw/filecached-php": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Similar interface to memcache

- `set(k, v)` set key-value pair
- `get(k)` get key value, returns false if nothing present
- `delete(k)` delete key-value pair
- `flush()` wipe all cache data

### Demo

[](#demo)

```
require_once('src/cache.php');

$cache = new Filecached\Cache();

$example_data = [
    'time' => time(),
    'message' => 'something certainly happened today.',
];

$cache->set('todays_news', $example_data);

print_r($storeData = $cache->get('todays_news'));

$example_data = [
    [
        'url' => 'https://libraries.io/github/hustcc/php-file-cache',
        'title' => 'Forked repo'
    ],
];

$cache->set('todays_links', $example_data);

print_r($storeData = $cache->get('todays_links'));

$cache->flush('today_'); // flush all data in 'today/' namespace

$cache->set('more data', ['blah']);

$cache->flush(); // flush all data

```
