// Connect to the memcached server $memcached = new Memcached(); $memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211); // Perform the expensive operation $result = do_expensive_operation(); // Store the result in cache for 10 minutes $memcached->set('cache_key', $result, 600); // Check if the result is in cache if ($cached_result = $memcached->get('cache_key')) { // Use the cached result echo $cached_result; } else { // Perform the expensive operation $result = do_expensive_operation(); // Store the result in cache for 10 minutes $memcached->set('cache_key', $result, 600); // Use the result echo $result; }This code uses the Memcached library to store a result in cache for 10 minutes using a unique key. If the result is already in cache, it is retrieved and used instead of performing the expensive operation again. If the result is not in cache, the operation is performed and the result is stored in cache for next time. Package libraries for caching in PHP include: - Memcached: An extension that allows PHP to communicate with memcached servers. - Redis: A fast in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker. - APC: A free, open source opcode (operation code) caching for PHP. - Doctrine Cache: A PHP caching library to abstract different caching libraries. - Symfony Cache: A component of the Symfony framework for caching.
