Manual cache file deletion? about phpfastcache HOT 6 CLOSED

You can use $cache->delete("keyword");
$cache->clean();

OR:

Delete folder cache.storage , this folder is store at current location of phpfastcache.php if you are using CGI , suPHP, and it store at tmp / upload folder of server if you are using DSO.

Read the document examples/2.setup.php , and you can setup custom path for this folder.

Ah okay thanks! The cache.storage folder is what I was looking for. Specifically I was wanting to manually delete the cache file/folder at the command line or via SFTP. Thanks

Hmmm where is the cache.storage supposed to be? I don't see it at the same location as phpfastcache.php... My setup is:

require_once('phpfastcache/phpfastcache.php');
phpFastCache::setup('storage','auto');
$cache = phpFastCache();

Am I doing something wrong? Where else would the cache file be?

from phpfastcache.

if your php run as suPHP it will be in folder phpfastcache
if you're using DSO as PHP, it will be under /tmp or upload folder.

phpFastCache doesn't want to border you about CHMOD 0777 for that folder, so it automatic pick a right way with good security and have writeable for you.

If you want custom path for that folder, look at examples/2.setup.php <-- 🎯

You can do:
phpFastCache::setup("path", dirname(FILE));

how to save all cache to one folder , and not create one folder to one cache

from phpfastcache.

set the storage to "sqlite" , it will save to sqlite 1 - 2 files only.

Because Linux / Windows directory only allow around 30,000 files I think.

So, if you don't split them to multiple folder, the cache folder will dead after couple weeks, and also it's very diffucuti to clean up a folder have more than 10,000 files, slow and cost memory when reading everything from that folder. In real world, 1 folder contant all cache files is bad. Use "sqlite" / "memcached" / "memcache" if you don't want to deal with files.

I suggest sqlite
