Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct()

cachestore_session::__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 Function Documentation

are_requirements_met()

static cachestore_session::are_requirements_met ( )

static

Returns true if the store requirements are met.

Return values

bool

Implements cache_store_interface.

cache_size_details()

cache_store::cache_size_details ( int $samplekeys = 50 )

inherited

Gets the amount of memory used by this specific cache within the store, if known.

This function may be slow and should not be called in normal usage, only for administration pages. The value is usually an estimate, and may not be available at all.

When estimating, a number of sample items will be used for the estimate. If set to 50 (default), then this function will retrieve 50 random items and use that to estimate the total size.

The return value has the following fields:

• supported (true if any other values are completed)
• items (number of items)
• mean (mean size of one item in bytes)
• sd (standard deviation of item size in bytes, based on sample)
• margin (95% confidence margin for mean - will be 0 if exactly computed)

Parameters

int

$samplekeys

Number of samples to use

Return values

stdClass

Object with information about the store size

Reimplemented in cachestore_file.

can_add_instance()

static cachestore_session::can_add_instance ( )

static

Returns true if the user can add an instance of the store plugin.

Return values

bool

Reimplemented from cache_store.

check_ttl()

cachestore_session::check_ttl ( )

protected

Removes expired elements.

Return values

int	number of removed elements

cleanup()

cache_store::cleanup ( )

inherited

Deprecated

since 2.5

See also

cache_store\instance_deleted()

Reimplemented in cachestore_dummy.

create_clone()

cache_store::create_clone ( array $details = array() )

inherited

Creates a clone of this store instance ready to be initialised.

This method is used so that a cache store needs only be constructed once. Future requests for an instance of the store will be given a cloned instance.

If you are writing a cache store that isn't compatible with the clone operation you can override this method to handle any situations you want before cloning.

Parameters

array

$details

An array containing the details of the store from the cache config.

Return values

cache_store

delete()

cachestore_session::delete

(

$key

)

Deletes an item from the cache store.

Parameters

string

$key

The key to delete.

Return values

bool	Returns true if the operation was a success, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from cache_store.

delete_many()

cachestore_session::delete_many

(

array

$keys

)

Deletes several keys from the cache in a single action.

Parameters

array

$keys

The keys to delete

Return values

int	The number of items successfully deleted.

Reimplemented from cache_store.

estimate_stored_size()

cache_store::estimate_stored_size ( $key, $value )

inherited

Estimates the storage size used within this cache if the given value is stored with the given key.

This function is not exactly accurate; it does not necessarily take into account all the overheads involved. It is only intended to give a good idea of the relative size of different caches.

The default implementation serializes both key and value and sums the lengths (as a rough estimate which is probably good enough for everything unless the cache offers compression).

Parameters

mixed	$key	Key
mixed	$value	Value

Return values

int	Size in bytes

Reimplemented in cachestore_redis.

find_all()

cachestore_session::find_all

(

)

Finds all of the keys being stored in the cache store instance.

Return values

array

Implements cache_is_searchable.

find_by_prefix()

cachestore_session::find_by_prefix

(

$prefix

)

Finds all of the keys whose keys start with the given prefix.

Parameters

string

$prefix

Return values

array

An array of keys.

Implements cache_is_searchable.

flush_store_by_id()

static session_data_store::flush_store_by_id ( $id )

staticprotectedinherited

Flushes the data belong to the given store id.

Parameters

string

$id

get()

cachestore_session::get

(

$key

)

Retrieves an item from the cache store given its key.

Parameters

string

$key

The key to retrieve

Return values

mixed

The data that was associated with the key, or false if the key did not exist.

Reimplemented from cache_store.

get_last_io_bytes()

cache_store::get_last_io_bytes ( )

inherited

Gets the number of bytes read from or written to cache as a result of the last action.

This includes calls to the functions get(), get_many(), set(), and set_many(). The number is reset by calling any of these functions.

This should be the actual number of bytes of the value read from or written to cache, giving an impression of the network or other load. It will not be exactly the same amount as netowrk traffic because of protocol overhead, key text, etc.

If not supported, returns IO_BYTES_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Return values

int	Bytes read (or 0 if none/not supported)

Since

Moodle 4.0

Reimplemented in cachestore_file, and cachestore_redis.

get_many()

cachestore_session::get_many

(

$keys

)

Retrieves several items from the cache store in a single transaction.

If not all of the items are available in the cache then the data value for those that are missing will be set to false.

Return values

array

An array of items from the cache. There will be an item for each key, those that were not in the store will be set to false.

inherited

Returns true if the store instance is searchable.

Return values

bool

Returns true if this cache store instance is both suitable for testing, and ready for testing.

Cache stores that support being used as the default store for unit and acceptance testing should override this function and return true if there requirements have been met.

Return values

bool

Reimplemented in cachestore_apcu, and cachestore_redis.

reduce_for_maxsize()

cachestore_session::reduce_for_maxsize ( )

protected

Reduces the size of the array if maxsize has been hit.

This function reduces the size of the store reducing it by 10% of its maxsize. It removes the oldest items in the store when doing this. The reason it does this an doesn't use a least recently used system is purely the overhead such a system requires. The current approach is focused on speed, MUC already adds enough overhead to static/session caches and avoiding more is of benefit.

Parameters

string	$key	The key to use.
mixed	$data	The data to set.
bool	$testmaxsize	If set to true then we test the maxsize arg and reduce if required. If this is set to false you will need to perform these checks yourself. This allows for bulk set's to be performed and maxsize tests performed once.

Return values

bool	True if the operation was a success false otherwise.

set_many()

cachestore_session::set_many

(

array

$keyvaluearray

)

Sets many items in the cache in a single transaction.

Member Data Documentation

$ttl

int cachestore_session::$ttl = 0

protected

The ttl if there is one.

Hopefully not.

DEREFERENCES_OBJECTS

const cache_store::DEREFERENCES_OBJECTS = 16

inherited

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.

MODE_SESSION

const cache_store::MODE_SESSION = 2

inherited

Session caches.

Just access to the PHP session.
