The main cache class.
This class if the first class that any end developer will interact with. In order to create an instance of a cache that they can work with they must call one of the static make methods belonging to this class.

Constructs a new cache instance.
You should not call this method from your code, instead you should use the cache\make methods.
This method is public so that the cache_factory is able to instantiate cache instances. Ideally we would make this method protected and expose its construction to the factory method internally somehow. The factory class is responsible for this in order to centralise the storage of instances once created. This way if needed we can force a reset of the cache API (used during unit testing).
- Parameters
-
Reimplemented in cache_application, cache_disabled, and cache_session.
static cache::compare_purge_tokens |
( |
| $tokena, |
|
|
| $tokenb ) |
|
static |
Compare a pair of purge tokens.
If the two tokens are identical, then the return value is 0. If the time component of token A is newer than token B, then a positive value is returned. If the time component of token B is newer than token A, then a negative value is returned.
Note: This function is intended for use from within the Cache API only and not by plugins, or cache stores.
- Parameters
-
string | $tokena | |
string | $tokenb | |
- Return values
-
Retrieves an array of values for an array of keys.
Using this function comes with potential performance implications. Not all cache stores will support get_many/set_many operations and in order to replicate this functionality will call the equivalent singular method for each item provided. This should not deter you from using this function as there is a performance benefit in situations where the cache store does support it, but you should be aware of this fact.
- Parameters
-
array | $keys | The keys of the data being requested. Each key can be any structure although using a scalar string or int is recommended in the interests of performance. In advanced cases an array may be useful such as in situations requiring the multi-key functionality. |
int | $strictness | One of IGNORE_MISSING or MUST_EXIST. |
- Return values
-
array | An array of key value pairs for the items that could be retrieved from the cache. If MUST_EXIST was used and not all keys existed within the cache then an exception will be thrown. Otherwise any key that did not exist will have a data value of false within the results. |
- Exceptions
-
Implements cache_loader.
Reimplemented in cache_application, cache_disabled, and cache_session.
cache::get_versioned |
( |
| $key, |
|
|
int | $requiredversion, |
|
|
int | $strictness = IGNORE_MISSING, |
|
|
& | $actualversion = null ) |
Retrieves the value and actual version for the given key, with at least the required version.
If there is no value for the key, or there is a value but it doesn't have the required version, then this function will return null (or throw an exception if you set strictness to MUST_EXIST).
This function can be used to make it easier to support localisable caches (where the cache could be stored on a local server as well as a shared cache). Specifying the version means that it will automatically retrieve the correct version if available, either from the local server or [if that has an older version] from the shared server.
If the cached version is newer than specified version, it will be returned regardless. For example, if you request version 4, but the locally cached version is 5, it will be returned. If you request version 6, and the locally cached version is 5, then the system will look in higher-level caches (if any); if there still isn't a version 6 or greater, it will return null.
You must use this function if you use set_versioned.
- Parameters
-
string | int | $key | The key for the data being requested. |
int | $requiredversion | Minimum required version of the data |
int | $strictness | One of IGNORE_MISSING or MUST_EXIST. |
mixed | $actualversion | If specified, will be set to the actual version number retrieved |
- Return values
-
mixed | Data from the cache, or false if the key did not exist or was too old |
- Exceptions

cache::has |
( |
| $key, |
|
|
| $tryloadifpossible = false ) |
Test is a cache has a key.
The use of the has methods is strongly discouraged. In a high load environment the cache may well change between the test and any subsequent action (get, set, delete etc). Instead it is recommended to write your code in such a way they it performs the following steps:
-
Attempt to retrieve the information.
-
Generate the information.
-
Attempt to set the information
Its also worth mentioning that not all stores support key tests. For stores that don't support key tests this functionality is mimicked by using the equivalent get method. Just one more reason you should not use these methods unless you have a very good reason to do so.
- Parameters
-
string | int | $key | |
bool | $tryloadifpossible | If set to true, the cache doesn't contain the key, and there is another cache loader or data source then the code will try load the key value from the next item in the chain. |
- Return values
-
bool | True if the cache has the requested key, false otherwise. |
Reimplemented in cache_disabled, and cache_session.

( |

It is strongly recommended to avoid the use of this function if not absolutely required. In a high load environment the cache may well change between the test and any subsequent action (get, set, delete etc).

cache::set |
( |
| $key, |
|
|
| $data ) |
Sends a key => value pair to the cache.
// This code will add four entries to the cache, one for each url. $cache->set('main', 'http://moodle.org'); $cache->set('docs', 'http://docs.moodle.org'); $cache->set('tracker', 'http://tracker.moodle.org'); $cache->set('qa', 'http://qa.moodle.net');
- Parameters
-
string | int | $key | The key for the data being requested. It can be any structure although using a scalar string or int is recommended in the interests of performance. In advanced cases an array may be useful such as in situations requiring the multi-key functionality. |
mixed | $data | The data to set against the key. |
- Return values
-
bool | True on success, false otherwise. |
Implements cache_loader.

cache::set_many |
( |
array | $keyvaluearray | ) |
|
Sends several key => value pairs to the cache.

- Parameters
-
array | $keyvaluearray | An array of key => value pairs to send to the cache. |
- Return values
-
int | The number of items successfully set. It is up to the developer to check this matches the number of items. ... if they care that is. |
Implements cache_loader.
Reimplemented in cache_application, cache_disabled, and cache_session.
cache::set_versioned |
( |
| $key, |
|
|
int | $version, |
|
|
| $data ) |
Sets the value for the given key with the given version.
The cache does not store multiple versions - any existing version will be overwritten with this one. This function should only be used if there is a known 'current version' (e.g. stored in a database table). It only ensures that the cache does not return outdated data.
This function can be used to help implement localisable caches (where the cache could be stored on a local server as well as a shared cache). The version will be recorded alongside the item and get_versioned will always return the correct version.
The version number must be an integer that always increases. This could be based on the current time, or a stored value that increases by 1 each time it changes, etc.
If you use this function you must use get_versioned to retrieve the data.
- Parameters
-
string | int | $key | The key for the data being set. |
int | $version | Integer for the version of the data |
mixed | $data | The data to set against the key. |
- Return values
-
bool | True on success, false otherwise. |
