================

[](#php-simple-cache)

A quick simple PHP file caching library. Not recommended for production use. License: MIT

- Human readable cache keys/paths
- Fallback to old cache on failure to load new data
- Talkative logging (Requires PSR logger)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

`composer require thybag/php-simple-cache`

```
// Standard
$cache = new \thybag\PhpSimpleCache\Cache;

```

#### Methods

- **read**($cache\_key, $max\_age, $fallback) - read an item from the cache. Return fallback if item is to old.
- **write**($cache\_key, $data) - write data to cache
- **delete**($cache\_key, $recursivedDelete) - delete item from cache (or entire folder optionally)
- **has**($key, $max\_age) - do we have a no stale version cached
