Here we will analyze how to enable and use smarty cache, how to clear smarty cache and smarty’s three caching mechanisms: global cache, partial cache and local cache.
1. Enable and use smarty cache
To enable smarty's cache, just set caching to true in the smarty setting parameters and specify cache_dir. At the same time, set the cache_lefetime parameter to specify the cache lifetime (in seconds). If you want to generate multiple different caches for the same page, you can add the second parameter cache_id in display or fetch, such as:
This feature can be used to cache different $_GETs differently.
2. Clear smarty cache
There are generally several ways to clear smarty cache:
3. Global Cache
Global caching is to generate cache pages for all pages of the entire website. To set the global cache, first we need to operate the smarty configuration file, enable the cache, specify the cache file directory, and set the cache survival time. The setting parameters are as follows:
Copy the code
Copy code
Partial caching means specifying some files to generate cache files, not all files on the website. The essence of partial caching is actually partial non-caching, which means that it is not to specify which files should be cached, but to specify specific files not to be cached. Now assume there are 3 files:
Copy the code
Copy code
Of course $smarty->display('corresponding template file name') still needs to be written. I don't want to generate a cache, so the second parameter is not needed.
Note: The parameters of $smarty->clear_cache() and $smarty->display() must be written consistently
5. Partial caching
Partial caching is to specify certain local places under the same page to generate cache. In fact, it does not specify which parts generate cache, but which parts do not generate cache (this is similar to the operation idea of partial cache). Let’s first look at the following example:
Article.php file part of the content is as follows:
$time=time();
$smarty->assign('time',$lanmuarr);
function insert_timeget(){
return time();
}
$smarty->display('article.html');
Part of the code corresponding to the template file article.html is as follows:
{$time}
{insert name='timeget'}
Here is an explanation of the above example: In PHP, we only need to define a custom function named insert_ (note the underscore) with a custom supplementary name. The value returned does not need to be passed by the assign() method. It can be called directly in the template page as {insert name='custom supplementary name'}. At the same time, it will not be affected by the cache and refreshed in real time.
Another addition is that if you feel that using Smarty cache is not satisfying enough, you can also use custom cache. How to use custom cache?
Here you need to set cache_handler_func to use a custom function to handle the cache, such as:
function myCache($action,&$smarty_obj,&$cache_content,$tpl_file=null,$cache_id=null,$compile_id=null){
switch($action){
case "read"://read cache content
case "write"://write cache
case "clear"://clear
}
}
