Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

cachestore_file::__construct	(		$name,
		array	$configuration = `array()`
	)

Constructs the store instance.

Noting that this function is not an initialisation. It is used to prepare the store for use. The store will be initialised when required and will be provided with a cache_definition at that time.

Parameters

string	$name
array	$configuration

Reimplemented from cache_store.

Member Data Documentation

◆ $singledirectory

◆ DEREFERENCES_OBJECTS

The cache store dereferences objects.

When set, loaders will assume that all data coming from this store has already had all references resolved. So even for complex object structures it will not try to remove references again.

◆ MODE_APPLICATION

const cache_store::MODE_APPLICATION = 1

inherited

Application caches.

These are shared caches.

◆ MODE_REQUEST

const cache_store::MODE_REQUEST = 4

inherited

Request caches.

Static caches really.
