wruczek/php-file-cache

Light, simple and standalone PHP in-file caching class

Deprecation notice

This project is not in active development. Issues remain with cache files sometimes being saved with invalid data and unable to be read (see: issue #3 and #4). The API is confusing and a rewrite would be necessary (for example renaming "retrive" function to "get", "store" to "set" etc.)., _(*1)

A community fork has been created, with authors planning on continuing the devlopment., _(*2)
