How to use phpfastcache to Cache Data to Files

Background

[wp_ad_camp_5]

Most of the PHP Frameworks I worked on or experimented with have their own ways of caching things to reduce calls to other systems (e.g., RDBMS) or interfaces to plug in third-party caching libraries. But what if you had an application that did not use any known framework? There are simple-to-use caching libraries that can be easily integrated into your existing project.

Software Requirements

  • Windows 7 Professional SP1
  • PHP 5.5.9 / Zend Engine v2.5.0
  • NetBeans IDE 8.0.1
  • ApacheFriends XAMPP Version 1.8.3
    • ​Apache/2.4.7 (Win32) / Open SSL/1.0.1e
