PHP-Datei-Caching-Funktion

Der Code lautet wie folgt:

function createHashDir($sign) 
{ 
$md5 = md5($sign); 
if(!is_dir(MB_CACHE)) mkdir(MB_CACHE); 
for($i=1;$i<=4;$i++) 
{ 
$dir .= $md5{$i}.&#39;/&#39;; 
if(!is_dir(MB_CACHE.$dir)) 
{ 
mkdir(MB_CACHE.$dir); 
} 
} 
return MB_CACHE.$dir; 
} 
function setCacheFile($data,$sign = &#39;a&#39;,$type = &#39;array&#39;,$id = &#39;&#39;) 
{ 
$cacheDir = $this -> createHashDir($sign); 
if(!empty($data)) 
{ 
$id = $id ? $id : $sign; 
$cacheFile = $cacheDir.$id.&#39;.php&#39;; 
$content = $type == &#39;array&#39; ? var_export($data,true) : $data; 
file_put_contents($cacheFile,&#39;<?php $&#39;.$sign.&#39; = &#39;.$content.&#39;; ?>&#39;); 
} 
} 
function getCacheFile($sign = &#39;a&#39;,$id = &#39;&#39;) 
{ 
$cacheDir = $this -> createHashDir($sign); 
$id = $id ? $id : $sign; 
$cacheFile = $cacheDir.$id.&#39;.php&#39;; 
if(is_file($cacheFile) && include_once($cacheFile)) 
{ 
return $$sign; 
} 
}
