 Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2003 7:01 am Post subject: How do You Clear Your Cache? |
 |
|
I just realized that smarty does not automatically delete expired cache files. If I'd gone on holiday or somthing I'd have exceeded my disk space! 
I just set up a cron job to run clear_all_cache(86400) once a day, is that the best way to deal with it? - Or (and I'm thinking as I write) does Smarty only delete when it encounters an expired cache?
Many thanks

i think setting up a cron-job is the best way to deal with it.
smarty does not delete the cached file when it encounters an expired one.
if display() encounters an expired cached file it regenerates the page and overwrites it with the new one. but you never have less cached files after display() than before. |

Ahhh.. so there is a finite number of cached files then?
Thankyou.

nope. after each call to display() you have more cached files or the same number than before. (of course it's finit by harddisk/universe-size - theoritical nitpicking - bla bla  ).
you'd have to ensure that your business-logic can only generate a finite number of distinct cache_ids to ensure you end up in a limited number of cached files. |

So there can be 2 caches for a page? - An expired one, and a current one?

| no. there can be a 2 caches for a temlate if you have 2 different cache_ids. and, of course, each one expires on it's own. |

Sure. But not 2 ientical caches - because smarty overwrites expired caches right? .- I'm with you, finally hehe!
Cheers
