ICache is the interface that must be implemented by cache components.

This interface must be implemented by classes supporting caching feature.

Method Details

add() method
abstract public boolean add(string $id, mixed $value, integer $expire=0, ICacheDependency $dependency=NULL)
$id string the key identifying the value to be cached
$value mixed the value to be cached
$expire integer the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.
$dependency ICacheDependency dependency of the cached item. If the dependency changes, the item is labelled invalid.
{return} boolean true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise
Source Code: framework/base/interfaces.php#83 (show)
public function add($id,$value,$expire=0,$dependency=null);

Stores a value identified by a key into cache if the cache does not contain this key. Nothing will be done if the cache already contains the key.

delete() method
abstract public boolean delete(string $id)
$id string the key of the value to be deleted
{return} boolean whether the deletion is successful
Source Code: framework/base/interfaces.php#89 (show)
public function delete($id);

Deletes a value with the specified key from cache

flush() method
abstract public boolean flush()
{return} boolean whether the flush operation was successful.
Source Code: framework/base/interfaces.php#95 (show)
public function flush();

Deletes all values from cache. Be careful of performing this operation if the cache is shared by multiple applications.

get() method
abstract public mixed get(string $id)
$id string a key identifying the cached value
{return} mixed the value stored in cache, false if the value is not in the cache or expired.
Source Code: framework/base/interfaces.php#50 (show)
public function get($id);

Retrieves a value from cache with a specified key.

mget() method
abstract public array mget(array $ids)
$ids array list of keys identifying the cached values
{return} array list of cached values corresponding to the specified keys. The array is returned in terms of (key,value) pairs. If a value is not cached or expired, the corresponding array value will be false.
Source Code: framework/base/interfaces.php#61 (show)
public function mget($ids);

Retrieves multiple values from cache with the specified keys. Some caches (such as memcache, apc) allow retrieving multiple cached values at one time, which may improve the performance since it reduces the communication cost. In case a cache doesn't support this feature natively, it will be simulated by this method.

set() method
abstract public boolean set(string $id, mixed $value, integer $expire=0, ICacheDependency $dependency=NULL)
$id string the key identifying the value to be cached
$value mixed the value to be cached
$expire integer the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.
$dependency ICacheDependency dependency of the cached item. If the dependency changes, the item is labelled invalid.
{return} boolean true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise
Source Code: framework/base/interfaces.php#73 (show)
public function set($id,$value,$expire=0,$dependency=null);

Stores a value identified by a key into cache. If the cache already contains such a key, the existing value and expiration time will be replaced with the new ones.
