1. Introduction
PHP, a web design script language that has emerged in recent years. Due to its power and scalability, it has made great progress in recent years. Compared with traditional ASP websites, PHP has an absolute advantage in speed. If you want to convert mssql For example, php takes 40 seconds to process 60,000 pieces of data, and asp takes no less than 2 minutes. However, as the website has more and more data, we are eager to call the data faster. We do not need to delete it from the database every time. We can retrieve it from other places. , such as a file, or a certain memory address, this is PHP’s caching technology, that is, Cache technology.
2. In-depth analysis
Generally speaking, the purpose of caching is to put data in one place to make access faster. There is no doubt that memory is the fastest, but can hundreds of M of data be stored in it? This is unrealistic, of course. Sometimes it is temporarily placed in the server cache. For example, if the ob_start() cache page is turned on, the page content will be cached in the memory before sending the file header. Until the page output is automatically cleared, or waiting for the return of ob_get_contents, or it is cleared by ob_end_clean display , this can be well utilized in the generation of static pages and can be well reflected in templates. This article of mine discusses it in depth: Talking about generating static pages with PHP. This is a way, but it is temporary. Sexual, is not a good way to solve our problems.
In addition, there is an object application in ASP, which can save public parameters. This is also a bit of caching, but in PHP, I have not seen developers produce such objects so far. Indeed, there is no need. ASP.NET page caching technology We use viewstate, and cache is file association (not necessarily accurate). When the file is modified, the cache is updated. If the file is not modified and does not time out (note 1), the cache is read and the result is returned. This is the idea. See Look at this source code:
