⚠️
Please note that the V8 is an important (with small BC breaking) update of PhpFastCache !
As the V8 is relatively not compatible with previous versions, please read carefully the migration guide to ensure you the smoothest migration possible. One of the biggest change is the configuration system which is now an object that replace the primitive array that we used to implement back then. Also please note that the V8 requires at least PHP7.3 or higher to work properly.
Simple Yet Powerful PHP Caching Class
More information in Wiki The simplicity of abstraction: One class for many backend cache. You don't need to rewrite your code many times again.
PHP7 Strict types enforced
As of the V7 PhpFastCache enforces the php7 strict types to make sure that it's completely php7 compatible and is type aware. This ensure you that the library is completely reliable when it come to manipulate variable types.

Please note that as of PHP7 some php extensions were not yet updated (and will may not), we keep the code here but there's no guarantee that they are still working especially due to the cores changes introduced by Opcache. As of the V8 every abandoned backend drivers have been removed definitely from Phpfastcache.
Symfony/Drupal developers are not forgotten !
Starting with v5, Phpfastcache comes with a Symfony Bundle. It is now a mature project Flex -ready, so feel free to give at try and report any bug (if any). The Phpfastcache V8 is compatible as of the v4 of the phpfastcache bundle.
Also a Drupal 8 Module is currently in (a slow) development, add it to your starred projects to get notified of the first public release.
Because caching does not means weaken your code
Phpfastcache has been developed over the years with 3 main goals:
- Performance: We optimized and still optimize the code to provide you the lightest library as possible
- Security: Because caching strategies can sometimes comes with unwanted vulnerabilities, we do our best to provide you a sage & strong library as possible
- Portability: No matter what operating system you're working on, we did our best to provide you the most cross-platform code as possible

) are now supported for tagging:

allows you to get cache item(s) by at least ONE of the specified matching tag(s). Default behavior.TaggableCacheItemPoolInterface::TAG_STRATEGY_ALL
allows you to get cache item(s) by ALL of the specified matching tag(s) (the cache item can have additional tag(s))TaggableCacheItemPoolInterface::TAG_STRATEGY_ONLY
allows you to get cache item(s) by ONLY the specified matching tag(s) (the cache item cannot have additional tag(s))
It also supports multiple calls, Tagging, Setup Folder for caching. Look at our examples folders for more information.
PhpFastCache versioning API
PhpFastCache provides a class that gives you basic information about your PhpFastCache installation
- Get the API version (Item+Pool interface) with
Phpfastcache\Api::GetVersion();
- Get the API changelog (Item+Pool interface)
Phpfastcache\Api::getChangelog();
- Get the PhpFastCache version with
Phpfastcache\Api::getPhpFastCacheVersion();
- Get the PhpFastCache changelog
Phpfastcache\Api::getPhpFastCacheChangelog();
Want to keep it simple ?
get($key, $default = null);
set($key, $value, $ttl = null);
delete($key);
clear();
getMultiple($keys, $default = null);
setMultiple($values, $ttl = null);
deleteMultiple($keys);
has($key);
Basic usage:
<?php
use Phpfastcache\Helper\Psr16Adapter;
$defaultDriver = 'Files';
$Psr16Adapter = new Psr16Adapter($defaultDriver);
if(!$Psr16Adapter->has('test-key')){
// Setter action
$data = 'lorem ipsum';
$Psr16Adapter->set('test-key', 'lorem ipsum', 300);// 5 minutes
}else{
// Getter action
$data = $Psr16Adapter->get('test-key');
}
/**
* Do your stuff with $data
*/
Internally, the Psr16 adapter calls the PhpFastCache Api via the cache manager.
Introducing to events
<?php
use Phpfastcache\EventManager;
/**
* Bind the event callback
*/
EventManager::getInstance()->onCacheGetItem(function(ExtendedCacheItemPoolInterface $itemPool, ExtendedCacheItemInterface $item){
$item->set('[HACKED BY EVENT] ' . $item->get());
});
An event callback can get unbind but you MUST provide a name to the callback previously:
<?php
use Phpfastcache\EventManager;
/**
* Bind the event callback
*/
EventManager::getInstance()->onCacheGetItem(function(ExtendedCacheItemPoolInterface $itemPool, ExtendedCacheItemInterface $item){
$item->set('[HACKED BY EVENT] ' . $item->get());
}, 'myCallbackName');
/**
* Unbind the event callback
*/
EventManager::getInstance()->unbindEventCallback('onCacheGetItem', 'myCallbackName');
More information about the implementation and the events are available on the Wiki
Introducing new helpers
- (
⚠️ Removed in v8, why ?)The ActOnAll Helper to help you to act on multiple instance at once. - The CacheConditional Helper to help you to make the basic conditional statement more easier.
- The Psr16 adapter
May more will come in the future, feel free to contribute !
Introducing aggregated cluster support
Check out the WIKI to learn how to implement aggregated cache clustering feature.
As Fast To Implement As Opening a Beer
👍
Step 1: Include phpFastCache in your project with composer:
composer require phpfastcache/phpfastcache
🚧
Step 2: Setup your website code to implement the phpFastCache calls (with Composer)
<?php
use Phpfastcache\CacheManager;
use Phpfastcache\Config\ConfigurationOption;
// Setup File Path on your config files
// Please note that as of the V6.1 the "path" config
// can also be used for Unix sockets (Redis, Memcache, etc)
CacheManager::setDefaultConfig(new ConfigurationOption([
'path' => '/var/www/phpfastcache.com/dev/tmp', // or in windows "C:/tmp/"
]));
// In your class, function, you can call the Cache
$InstanceCache = CacheManager::getInstance('files');
/**
* Try to get $products from Caching First
* product_page is "identity keyword";
*/
$key = "product_page";
$CachedString = $InstanceCache->getItem($key);
$your_product_data = [
'First product',
'Second product',
'Third product'
/* ... */
];
if (!$CachedString->isHit()) {
$CachedString->set($your_product_data)->expiresAfter(5);//in seconds, also accepts Datetime
$InstanceCache->save($CachedString); // Save the cache item just like you do with doctrine and entities
echo 'FIRST LOAD // WROTE OBJECT TO CACHE // RELOAD THE PAGE AND SEE // ';
echo $CachedString->get();
} else {
echo 'READ FROM CACHE // ';
echo $CachedString->get()[0];// Will print 'First product'
}
/**
* use your products here or return them;
*/
echo implode('<br />', $CachedString->get());// Will echo your product list
💾
Legacy support (Without Composer)
* See the file examples/withoutComposer.php for more information.
Please include Phpfastcache through composer by running composer require phpfastcache/phpfastcache
.
