CacheManager

The data is stored by PHP ’s serialize function, this allows for more wholesome storage of objects which can recognize when they are being serialized and unserialized via the __sleep and __wakeup magic methods.

As to the second part of your inquiry, would you mind elaborating on what data specifically you are caching? If you wish to not use the cached data than simply do not use CacheManager to call this data forth.

In response to your want of benchmarks, they shall be up shortly.

This CacheManager script isn’t intended to cache the output of pages but rather the output of method calls.

So, for instance of we’ve an object contained within $users. If we want to get a specific user and assuming $users has a method named getUser() then the code would be thus

$users->getUser(12);

However, having this call to the database each time would be inefficient and a waste of resources instead we implement a slightly more verbose but efficient technique.

Having said that, if page caching is a requested feature I will include it as per request. However, I would not recommend this sort of feature on any page that serves up wildly dynamic data which is to say nearly all modern web 2.0 applications.
