Cache library

[eluser]Sbioko[/eluser]
Hi all! Today, I want to represent you my new library! This will be a part of my CMS. But I want to share it with everyone! Supports Memcached, XCache, eAccelerator, APC and Native implementation of caching.

Installation:
Unpack Cache.zip. Move Cache.php to your application/libraries folder. Then move cache_config.php to your application/config folder AND rename it to cache.php. That's it!

How to use it:
Syntax is very easy, but if you need more samples, feel free to say!

Code:

$this->load->library('cache');
$this->cache->driver('xcache'); // Can be also memcached, apc, fs(file system) and eaccelerator
$this->cache->set('test_key', 'Test Value'); // Storing some value
//Then, we will do some checking for our data
if($this->cache->exists('test_key'))
{
   echo $this->cache->get('test_key');
}
//After that, just cleaning. First, we will delete test_key and then, all the cache
$this->cache->delete('test_key');
$this->cache->clean();

Also, I've implemented such methods as:

Code:

$this->cache->increment('test_key');
$this->cache->decrement('test_key');
$this->cache->is_loaded('driver'); // Where driver is memcached, xcache, apc, eaccelerator

Warning: I didn't test it with Memcached, eAccelerator. Please, if you can do it, pm me about your results.

Good stuff. I never quite got around to adding Memcache to my Cache library. One of those "I'll do it next week" jobs I never bothered with.

I'm not sure I like your suggestion that people put this library in the system/libraries folder, and its a bit strange that you called your library CI_Class as it is not. Third-party libraries should be kept in application/libraries so system can be blammed at any point for a new version.

I think, if you don't like that I named it with CI_ prefix, you can easily change it to yours. This is not a big problem.

Just call it class Cache, it's not a core library. It's not a complaint just take the feedback.

[eluser]Sbioko[/eluser]
Ok, I will do it in the next version. Thank you for discussion!

I have an error when use this library with memcache:

Fatal error: Call to a member function set() on a non-object in E:\UniServer50\www\ione\includes\system\libraries\Cache.php on line 125

Can anyone show me the reason why..???

Sweet, could you look into adding Wincache?
http://php.net/manual/en/book.wincache.php

Its a new opcode caching mechanism developed by Microsoft specifically designed for IIS and Windows.

As Phil pointed out to you above, if you read the
CodeIgniter Users Guide you would have read this!

Please note that all native CodeIgniter libraries are prefixed with CI_ so DO NOT use that as your prefix.

I am awaiting the next version with the proper class names and waiting to see if I can replace a current memcache version using zend framework.

-Fixed memcache error.
-Code is more beautiful now
-Added simple validations
