APC Cache

ApcCache

The Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is a free and open opcode cache for PHP. Its goal is to provide a free, open, and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code. This class is in simple form, an Abstraction to the APC Library., _(*1)

Setup

Add a composer.json file to your project:, _(*2)

{
  "require": {
      "rcastera/apc": "v1.0.0"
  }
}

Then provided you have composer installed, you can run the following command:, _(*3)

$ composer.phar install

That will fetch the library and its dependencies inside your vendor folder. Then you can add the following to your .php files in order to use the library, _(*4)

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Then you need to use the relevant class, for example:, _(*5)

use rcastera\Apc\ApcCache;

Example

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use rcastera\Apc\ApcCache;

// Create a new object with properties to store in cache.
$object = new stdClass;
$object->name = 'Richard';
$object->age = 30;

// Store the object in cache.
ApcCache::store('rich', $object, 3600);

// Now check if it exists and fetch it.
if (ApcCache::exists('rich')) {
    $person = ApcCache::fetch('rich');
}

// Output the name property value.
echo $person->name;

// Delete this specific key in cache.
ApcCache::delete('rich');

// Delete all cache.
ApcCache::clear();
