Limcache is a small non-persistent cache manager that supports LRU and MRU replacement algorithms. Also it has optional Judy support.
- PHP >= 5.4
- Judy (optional)
You can install Limcache via Composer:
composer require herroffizier/limcache:dev-master
At first, choose replacement algorithm:
// Use LRU:
$strategy = new \Limcache\strategy\LRU(100); // 100 is max item count in cache
// Or MRU:
$strategy = new \Limcache\strategy\MRU(100);After that you can create cache:
$cache = new \Limcache\Cache($strategy);Since \Limcache\Cache implements \ArrayAccess and \Countable interfaces you can use it as array in most cases:
// Save item in cache:
$cache['key1'] = 'somedata';
// Get item value:
$cache['key1'];
// Try to get non-existent item:
$cache['key2']; // will return null
// Do some ordinary things:
count($cache);
isset($cache['key1']);
unset($cache['key1']);In addition cache object has few useful methods which may help to determine cache efficiency:
// Get cache hits:
$cache->getHits();
// Get cache misses:
$cache->getMisses();
