README

CacheerPHP is a minimalist package for PHP caching. Now, in version 3.0.0, you get even more flexibility, support for multiple backends (files, database and Redis), as well as new features for monitoring, compression and encryption and a more robust API design.

Features

• Cache Storage and Retrieval: Support for file storage, databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) and Redis.
• Customizable expiration: Set the TTL (Time To Live) of the cache precisely.
• Cache cleaning and flushing: Support for manual and automatic cleaning (via flushAfter).
• Namespace support: Organize your cache entries by category.
• Customized Data Output: Options to return data in JSON, Array, String or Object.
• Compression and Encryption: Reduce storage space and increase the security of cached data.
• Cache Statistics and Monitoring: Track hit and miss statistics and average read/write times (Coming Soon).
• Advanced Logging: Detailed monitoring of the operation of the caching system.

Installation

CacheerPHP 3.0.0 is available via Composer. Add the following line to your composer.json file:
