phpfastcache

:warning: Please note that the V9 is mostly a PHP 8 type aware update of Phpfastcache with some significant changes !

As the V9 is relatively not compatible with previous versions, please read carefully the migration guide to ensure you the smoothest migration possible. One of the biggest changes is the configuration system which is now an object that replace the primitive array that we used to implement back then. Also, please note that the V9 requires at least PHP 8 or higher to works properly.

Simple Yet Powerful PHP Caching Class

More information in Wiki The simplicity of abstraction: One class for many backend cache. You don't need to rewrite your code many times again.

Supported drivers at this day *

:bulb: Feel free to propose a driver by making a new Pull Request, they are welcome !

Regular drivers	High performances drivers	Development drivers (Core)	Cluster-Aggregated drivers (Core)
Apcu (Core) (APC support removed)	Arangodb (Extension)	Devnull	FullReplicationCluster
Dynamodb (Extension)	Cassandra (PHP extension is no more maintained by Datastax, might be deprecated in v10)	Devrandom	SemiReplicationCluster
Files (Core)	CouchBasev3 (Core)(Will be deprecated as of v10)	Memory(Previously named Memstatic)	MasterSlaveReplicationCluster
Firestore (Extension)	CouchBasev4 (Extension)		RandomReplicationCluster
Leveldb (Core)	Couchdb (Extension)
Memcache(d) (Core)	Mongodb (Extension)
Solr (Extension)	Predis (Core)
Sqlite (Core)	_()

* Driver descriptions available in DOCS/DRIVERS.md

:new: As of v9.2 a new Couchbase extension has been released: Couchbasev4 Also a new driver extension has been added: Ravendb. The driver will be actively developed in the feature to allow better fine-grained configuration. This new extension is the beginning of a new era for Phpfastcache along with some others:
Many drivers has been moved from the core to their own sub-repository as a standalone extension: Arangodb, Couchdb, Dynamodb, Firestore, Mongodb, Solr.
They can be easily added through composer, ex: composer install phpfastcache/couchbasev4-extension However Couchbasev3 will stay in the core for compatibility reasons but will be deprecated.

Because caching does not mean weaken your code

Phpfastcache has been developed over the years with 3 main goals:

• Performance: We optimized and still optimize the code to provide you the lightest library as possible
• Security: Because caching strategies can sometimes comes with unwanted vulnerabilities, we do our best to provide you a sage & strong library as possible
• Portability: No matter what operating system you're working on, we did our best to provide you the most cross-platform code as possible
