Zend_Cache Clean Method - zend-framework

Question

I just tried to use Zend_Cache in my application, and it worked. The problem now is I am not sure where to put Zend_Cache clean() method in my code.
Here is my code:
// application/Bootstrap.php
protected function _initCache()
{
$dir = "./cache";
$frontendOptions = array(
'lifetime' => 10,
'content_type_memorization' => true,
'default_options' => array(
'cache' => true,
'cache_with_get_variables' => true,
'cache_with_post_variables' => true,
'cache_with_session_variables' => true,
'cache_with_cookie_variables' => true,
),
'regexps' => array(
// cache the whole IndexController
'^/.*' => array('cache' => true),
'^/index/' => array('cache' => true),
// place more controller links here to cache them
)
);
$backendOptions = array(
'cache_dir' =>$dir
);
// getting a Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page object
$cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Page',
'File',
$frontendOptions,
$backendOptions);
$cache->start();
}
Where should I put the $cache->clean(/* something */);?

Answer 1

As you have configured our $frontend array to cache data for 10 seconds, so the data cached will automatically be remove after 10 second.
i would suggest that you can increase your time like
one hour : 3600 or 2 hours like 7200
However if later in your application you want to clean the entire cached data manually, simply write
$cache->clean();
This will clean the entire cached data. However if you want to remove specific data being cached, write
$cache->remove(‘mydata’);
for more use of cache see link
i am not associate with above link it is just for your knowledge
hope this will sure help you.
