Custom Cache Implementation

As an alternative to using the default file-based caching mechanism, you can specify a custom cache implementation that will be used to read, write and clear cached files.

Note

In Smarty2 this used to be a callback function called $cache_handler_func. Smarty3 replaced this callback by the Smarty_CacheResource module.

With a custom cache implementation you're likely trying to achieve at least one of the following goals: replace the slow filesystem by a faster storage engine, centralize the cache to be accessible to multiple servers.

Smarty allows CacheResource implementations to use one of the APIs Smarty_CacheResource_Custom or Smarty_CacheResource_KeyValueStore. Smarty_CacheResource_Custom is a simple API directing all read, write, clear calls to your implementation. This API allows you to store wherever and however you deem fit. The Smarty_CacheResource_KeyValueStore API allows you to turn any "dumb" KeyValue-Store (like APC, Memcache, …) into a full-featured CacheResource implementation. That is, everything around deep cache-groups like "a|b|c" is being handled for you in way that allows clearing the cache-group "a" and all nested groups are cleared as well - even though KeyValue-Stores don't allow this kind of hierarchy by nature.

Custom CacheResources may be put in a file cacheresource.foobarxyz.php within your $plugins_dir, or registered on runtime with registerCacheResource(). In either case you need to set $caching_type to invoke your custom CacheResource implementation.

require_once 'libs/Smarty.class.php';
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->caching_type = 'mysql';
