CCache is the base class for cache classes with different cache storage implementation.

A data item can be stored in cache by calling set and be retrieved back later by get. In both operations, a key identifying the data item is required. An expiration time and/or a dependency can also be specified when calling set. If the data item expires or the dependency changes, calling get will not return back the data item.

Note, by definition, cache does not ensure the existence of a value even if it does not expire. Cache is not meant to be a persistent storage.

CCache implements the interface ICache with the following methods:
  • get : retrieve the value with a key (if any) from cache
  • set : store the value with a key into cache
  • add : store the value only if cache does not have this key
  • delete : delete the value with the specified key from cache
  • flush : delete all values from cache


Child classes must implement the following methods:

CCache also implements ArrayAccess so that it can be used like an array.

Property Details

hashKey property (available since v1.1.11)
public boolean $hashKey;

whether to md5-hash the cache key for normalization purposes. Defaults to true. Setting this property to false makes sure the cache key will not be tampered when calling the relevant methods get(), set(), add() and delete(). This is useful if a Yii application as well as an external application need to access the same cache pool (also see description of keyPrefix regarding this use case). However, without normalization you should make sure the affected cache backend does support the structure (charset, length, etc.) of all the provided cache keys, otherwise there might be unexpected behavior.

keyPrefix property
public string $keyPrefix;

a string prefixed to every cache key so that it is unique. Defaults to null which means to use the application ID. If different applications need to access the same pool of cached data, the same prefix should be set for each of the applications explicitly.

serializer property
public array|boolean $serializer;

the functions used to serialize and unserialize cached data. Defaults to null, meaning using the default PHP `serialize()` and `unserialize()` functions. If you want to use some more efficient serializer (e.g. igbinary), you may configure this property with a two-element array. The first element specifies the serialization function, and the second the deserialization function. If this property is set false, data will be directly sent to and retrieved from the underlying cache component without any serialization or deserialization. You should not turn off serialization if you are using cache dependency, because it relies on data serialization.

Method Details

add() method
public boolean add(string $id, mixed $value, integer $expire=0, ICacheDependency $dependency=NULL)
$id string the key identifying the value to be cached
$value mixed the value to be cached
$expire integer the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.
$dependency ICacheDependency dependency of the cached item. If the dependency changes, the item is labeled invalid.
{return} boolean true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise
Source Code: framework/caching/CCache.php#197 (show)
public function add($id,$value,$expire=0,$dependency=null)
{
    Yii::trace('Adding "'.$id.'" to cache','system.caching.'.get_class($this));

    if ($dependency !== null && $this->serializer !== false)
        $dependency->evaluateDependency();

    if ($this->serializer === null)
        $value = serialize(array($value,$dependency));
    elseif ($this->serializer !== false)
        $value = call_user_func($this->serializer[0], array($value,$dependency));

    return $this->addValue($this->generateUniqueKey($id), $value, $expire);
}

Stores a value identified by a key into cache if the cache does not contain this key. Nothing will be done if the cache already contains the key.

addValue() method
protected boolean addValue(string $key, string $value, integer $expire)
$key string the key identifying the value to be cached
$value string the value to be cached
$expire integer the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.

protected boolean flushValues()
{return} boolean whether the flush operation was successful.
Source Code: framework/caching/CCache.php#325 (show)
protected function flushValues()

    throw new CException(Yii::t('yii','{className} does not support flushValues() functionality.',
        array('{className}'=>get_class($this))));
}

Deletes all values from cache. Child classes may implement this method to realize the flush operation.

public function init()
{
    parent::init();

                if(is_array($value) && (!$value[1] instanceof ICacheDependency || !$value[1]->getHasChanged()))
                {
                    Yii::trace('Serving "'.$id.'" from cache','system.caching.'.get_class($this));
                    $results[$id] = $value[0];
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return $results;
}

Retrieves multiple values from cache with the specified keys. Some caches (such as memcache, apc) allow retrieving multiple cached values at one time, which may improve the performance since it reduces the communication cost. In case a cache does not support this feature natively, it will be simulated by this method.

offsetExists() method
public boolean offsetExists(string $id)
$id string a key identifying the cached value
{return} boolean

}

Returns whether there is a cache entry with a specified key. This method is required by the interface ArrayAccess.

offsetGet() method
public mixed offsetGet(string $id)
$id string a key identifying the cached value
{return} mixed the value stored in cache, false if the value is not in the cache or expired.
Source Code: framework/caching/CCache.php#348 (show)

public function offsetSet($id, $value)
{
    $this->set($id, $value);
}

Stores the value identified by a key into cache. If the cache already contains such a key, the existing value will be replaced with the new ones. To add expiration and dependencies, use the set() method. This method is required by the interface ArrayAccess.

$id string the key of the value to be deleted
{return} boolean if no error happens during deletion
Source Code: framework/caching/CCache.php#372 (show)

{return} boolean true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise
Source Code: framework/caching/CCache.php#173 (show)
public function set($id,$value,$expire=0,$dependency=null)
{

setValue() method
protected boolean setValue(string $key, string $value, integer $expire)
$key string the key identifying the value to be cached
$value string the value to be cached
$expire integer the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.
