Actual Cached Pages

How to Use it

Take the cache.php file, open it in an editor, edit the 'CACHE_PATH' settings and include the cache.php file in your website. That's all. If you use the default setup, you only need to create a directory named 'cache' at the root folder of your webhosting. Save the cache.php file also in the root directory of you webhosting and you are ready to go if you have included the cache.php file in your project, like e.g.

    <?PHP
    include 'cache.php';
    // rest of page code
  

The way you turn the Cache Off for a special Page

    <?PHP
    // don't insert the line: include 'cache.php';
    // rest of page code
  

— or —

    <?PHP
    // or insert:
    $nocache = 'on';
    // before the include:
    include 'cache.php';
    // rest of page code
  

Delete the Cache

If you run a dynamic website, change session variables or use User-Logins etc.
you need to delete the cached pages to refresh the content and see the changes.

    <?PHP
    include 'cache-empty.php';
  

Set Cache Folder Path

Every Parameter is setup in the cache.php file. Change all settings as required.

    //  PATH of CACHE (absolute path recommended)
      define('CACHE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/cache/');

      // while $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is your root directory path at your web host
      //     e.g. http://www.example.com
      // If your project and the cache folder are not at the root path of server,
      //     e.g. http://www.example.com/project/cache/
      // Then cache folder path will be like below
      // define('CACHE_PATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/project/cache/');
  

— or —

    // if you have write permission to temp folder you can use this
    // ADVANTAGE: cache files can't be accessed by webvisitors
    define('CACHE_PATH', '/tmp/');
  

— or —

    // relative path - not recommended
    define('CACHE_PATH', 'cache/');
  

Set Advanced Cache Parameter

Its defined in cache.php file. Change settings according to your need.

    //  PREFIX of CACHE
        define('CACHE_PREFIX', 'cache_'); // REMEMBER: WITHOUT ANY SLASHES!

    //  KEEP CACHE x HOURS
        define('CACHE_TIME', 1); // REMEMBER: WITHOUT ANY QUOTES!

    //  DO YOU USE STATIC PAGES? (TRUE=static Pages OR FALSE=dynamic Pages)
        define('CACHE_STATIC', FALSE); // REMEMBER: WITHOUT ANY QUOTES!

    //  DO YOU USE ZLIB COMPRESSION (TRUE/FALSE) - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1950.html
        define('CACHE_COMPRESS', TRUE); // FALSE=Faster - TRUE=Save Disk Memory

    //  DELETE OLD CACHE RUBISH? (only if older than CACHE_TIME)
        define('CACHE_TIDY', TRUE); // FALSE=Faster - TRUE=Save Disk Memory

    //  USE DEBUG MODE? (set to FALSE when everthing works fine)
        define('CACHE_DEBUG', TRUE); // (TRUE/FALSE)
        
    //  PATH or URL to SCRIPT
        define('CACHE_SELF', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); // LOCALHOST
        // TRY THIS INSTEAD, IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE
        // define('CACHE_SELF', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); // WEB
