• Supports PHP 7.4+
• Free under a MIT license

composer require flightphp/cache

<?php
use flight\Cache;
require_once __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";

$data = $cache->refreshIfExpired("simple-cache-test", function () {
    return date("H:i:s"); // return data to be cached
}, 10); // cache for 10 seconds
