Description 

Author

This class can store cached data in files.

It can check if a given cache file exists and it has not passed more than a given expiry time. The class checks the last modified timestamp to determine if the cache file is expired.

In that case the class can retrieve the cached data. Otherwise the class can store the cache data in a file for a given expiry period.

The cache directory is derived from the cache ID value. The class can create sub-directories to reduce the number of cache files per directory.

The class can also delete individual cache files, all cached files about a given age of one or all modules.

              - comparison of timestimp with a sourcefile
              - cleanup unused cachefiles

2012-05-15 2.1 isExpired() returns as bool; new method iExpired() to get

             expiration in sec

2012-05-15 2.2 - rename to AhCache

             - _cleanup checks with file_exists

2014-03-31 2.3 - added _setup() that to includes custom settings

             - limit number of files in cache directory

--- typical usage:

example using expiration (ttl value):

$sContent='';  
$iTtl=60*5; // 5 min 
  
require_once("/php/cache.class.php");  
$myCache=new AhCache("my-app","task-id");  
  
if($myCache->isExpired()) {  
    // cache does not exist or is expired
    $sContent=...  
  
    // save cache
    $myCache->write($sContent, $iTtl);  
  
} else {  
    // read cached data
    $sContent=$myCache->read();  
}  
  
// output
echo $sContent;  

example compare age of cache with age of a sourcefile

require_once("/php/cache.class.php");  
$sCsvFile="my_source_file.csv"  
  
$myCache=new AhCache("my-app","task-id");  
$sContent=$myCache->read(); // read cached data
  
// comparison of last modified time (mtime)
if (!$myCache->isNewerThanFile($sCsvFile)) {  
  
	// update content 
	$sContent=...  
  
	// ... and save cache
	$myCache->write($sContent);  
};  
  
// output
echo $sContent;

cleanup cache directory

require_once("/php/cache.class.php");  
$o=new AhCache("my-app");  
$o->cleanup(606024*1); // delete all Cachefiles of the module "my-app" older 1 day

or cleanup cachefiles of all modules
$o=new Cache(); $o->cleanup(606024*1);
