Cache::ezcCacheStorageFileObject

Class ezcCacheStorageFileObject

This cache storage implementation stores arrays, scalar values

(int, float, string, bool) and objects implementing ezcBaseExportable in files on your hard disk as PHP code. This makes the restoring of cache data extremly fast, since the stored data is simply included and parsed by the PHP interpreter. It takes its base methods from the extended storage base class ezcCacheStorageFile.

This cache storage deprecates ezcCacheStorageFileArray, since it is also capable of storing exportable objects in addition to arrays and scalar values.

For example code of using a cache storage, see ezcCacheManager.

The Cache package contains several other implementations of ezcCacheStorageFile. As there are:

ezcCacheStorageFileEvalArray
ezcCacheStorageFilePlain

Both of these use different methods for actually storing the data, which are basically not superior to the implementation in this class.

Inherited Methods

From ezcCacheStorageFile
public ezcCacheStorageFile	`ezcCacheStorageFile::__construct()` Creates a new cache storage in the given location.
protected int	`ezcCacheStorageFile::calcLifetime()` Calculates the lifetime remaining for a cache object.
public int	`ezcCacheStorageFile::countDataItems()` Return the number of items in the cache matching a certain criteria.
public void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::delete()` Delete data from the cache.
protected abstract mixed	`ezcCacheStorageFile::fetchData()` Fetch data from the cache.
public string	`ezcCacheStorageFile::generateIdentifier()` Generate the storage internal identifier from ID and attributes.
public int	`ezcCacheStorageFile::getRemainingLifetime()` Returns the time ( in seconds ) which remains for a cache object, before it gets outdated. In case the cache object is already outdated or does not exist, this method returns 0.
public void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::lock()` Acquire a lock on the storage.
protected abstract string	`ezcCacheStorageFile::prepareData()` Serialize the data for storing.
public array(string)	`ezcCacheStorageFile::purge()` Purges the given number of cache items.
public void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::reset()` Resets the whole storage.
public mixed\|bool	`ezcCacheStorageFile::restore()` Restore data from the cache.
public ezcCacheStackMetaData\|null	`ezcCacheStorageFile::restoreMetaData()` Restores and returns the meta data struct.
protected array(int=>string)	`ezcCacheStorageFile::search()` Search the storage for data.
protected array(int=>string)	`ezcCacheStorageFile::searchRecursive()` Search the storage for data recursively.
public void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::setOptions()` Set new options.
public string	`ezcCacheStorageFile::store()` Store data to the cache storage.
public void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::storeMetaData()` Stores the given meta data struct.
protected void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::storeRawData()` Actually stores the given data.
public void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::unlock()` Release a lock on the storage.
protected void	`ezcCacheStorageFile::validateLocation()` Checks the path in the location property exists, and is read-/writable. It throws an exception if not.
From ezcCacheStorage
public ezcCacheStorage	`ezcCacheStorage::__construct()` Creates a new cache storage in the given location.
public abstract int	`ezcCacheStorage::countDataItems()` Return the number of items in the cache matching a certain criteria.
public abstract void	`ezcCacheStorage::delete()` Delete data from the cache.
public string	`ezcCacheStorage::getLocation()` Returns the location.
public ezcCacheStorageOptions	`ezcCacheStorage::getOptions()` Return the currently set options.
public abstract int	`ezcCacheStorage::getRemainingLifetime()` Returns the time ( in seconds ) that remains for a cache object, before it gets outdated. In case the cache object is already outdated or does not exist, this method returns 0.
public abstract mixed	`ezcCacheStorage::restore()` Restore data from the cache.
public void	`ezcCacheStorage::setOptions()` Set new options.

protected abstract void	`ezcCacheStorage::validateLocation()` Checks if the location property is valid.

Methods

fetchData

mixed fetchData( string $filename )

Fetch data from the cache.

This method fetches the desired data from the file with $filename from disk. This implementation uses an include statement for fetching. The return value depends on the stored data and might either be an object implementing ezcBaseExportable, an array or a scalar value.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$filename`	string

Redefinition of:

Method	Description
`ezcCacheStorageFile::fetchData()`	Fetch data from the cache.

prepareData

string prepareData( mixed $data )

Serialize the data for storing.

Serializes the given $data to a executable PHP code representation string. This works with objects implementing ezcBaseExportable, arrays and scalar values (int, bool, float, string). The return value is executable PHP code to be stored to disk. The data can be unserialized using the fetchData() method.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$data`	mixed

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcCacheInvalidDataException`	if the $data can not be serialized (e.g. an object that does not implement ezcBaseExportable, a resource, ...).

Redefinition of:

Method	Description
`ezcCacheStorageFile::prepareData()`	Serialize the data for storing.
