+--- Thread: Expired cache files are not cleared (/showthread.php?tid=79105)
Expired cache files are not cleared - AngelRodriguez - 04-20-2021
Hi,
I have a problem, expired cache files are not cleared.
Saving cache like (this for example) version CI 4.1.1
PHP Code:
if (! $foo = cache('foo'))
{
echo 'Saving to the cache!<br />';
$foo = 'foobarbaz!';
// Save into the cache for 5 minutes
cache()->save('foo', $foo, 300);
}
echo $foo;
Files are supposed to delete themselves, right?
Or do I have to do something manually to delete them?
Thank you
Ángel

If they do not delete you can do it yourself like so.
PHP Code:
$cache = \Config\Services::cache();
// your cache item id.
$this->cache->delete('cache_item_id');
// clean the cache out.
$this->cache->clean();
// get the cache information.
var_dump($this->cache->cache_info());

Get the entire cache and loop one by one, so if it is expired it will return NULL and delete the file.
Code:
$allDataCache = $this->cache->getCacheInfo();
foreach ($allDataCache as $key => $value) {
$this->cache->get($key);
}
