Member Function Documentation

are_requirements_met()

static cache_store_interface::are_requirements_met ( )

staticinherited

Static method to check if the store requirements are met.

Return values

bool	True if the stores software/hardware requirements have been met and it can be used. False otherwise.

Implemented in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

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 cache_store::can_add_instance ( )

staticinherited

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

Return values

bool

Reimplemented in cachestore_dummy, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

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()

cache_store::delete ( $key )

abstractinherited

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 in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

delete_many()

cache_store::delete_many ( array $keys )

abstractinherited

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 in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

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.

flush_store()

static static_data_store::flush_store ( )

staticprotected

Flushes all of the values from all stores.

flush_store_by_id()

static static_data_store::flush_store_by_id ( $id )

staticprotected

Flushes the store of all values for belonging to the store with the given id.

Parameters

string

$id

get()

cache_store::get ( $key )

abstractinherited

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 in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

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()

cache_store::get_many ( $keys )

abstractinherited

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.

Parameters

array

$keys

The array of keys to retrieve

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.

Reimplemented in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

get_supported_features()

static cache_store_interface::get_supported_features ( array $configuration = array() )

staticinherited

Returns the supported features as a binary flag.

Parameters

array

$configuration

The configuration of a store to consider specifically.

Return values

int	The supported features.

Implemented in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

get_supported_modes()

static cache_store_interface::get_supported_modes ( array $configuration = array() )

staticinherited

Returns the supported modes as a binary flag.

Parameters

array

$configuration

The configuration of a store to consider specifically.

Return values

int	The supported modes.

Implemented in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

get_warnings()

cache_store::get_warnings ( )

inherited

Can be overridden to return any warnings this store instance should make to the admin.

This should be used to notify things like configuration conflicts etc. The warnings returned here will be displayed on the cache configuration screen.

Return values

string[]

An array of warning strings from the store instance.

initialise()

cache_store::initialise ( cache_definition $definition )

abstractinherited

Initialises a new instance of the cache store given the definition the instance is to be used for.

This function should be used to run any definition specific setup the store instance requires. Tasks such as creating storage areas, or creating indexes are best done here.

Its important to note that the initialise method is expected to always succeed. If there are setup tasks that may fail they should be done within the __construct method and should they fail is_ready should return false.

Parameters

cache_definition

$definition

Reimplemented in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

initialise_test_instance()

Parameters

cache_definition

$definition

Return values

cache_store|false

Implemented in cachestore_apcu, cachestore_dummy, cachestore_file, cachestore_redis, cachestore_session, and cachestore_static.

Member Data Documentation

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.
