copied!<blockquote> <p>I realize that sessions and cookies are not usually considered part of the caching but I think that they would fit in here, not to really "cache" a lot of data but more as a way to get/set my sessions and cookies, instead of having specific sessions and cookie classes, they would utilize my get/set/unset methods from this class.</p> </blockquote> <p>PHP has perfectly adequate ways to deal with cookies and sessions. They're called <code>$_COOKIE</code>/<code>setcookie</code> and <code>$_SESSION</code>. You don't need a wrapper for these that is designed for another purpose, even if the interface is adequate on the surface. For example, cookies have extra things that you <em>have</em> to worry about, like domain names and expiration times, while sessions won't. Maybe your cached data will expire, but then how will you manage that expiration information in the session?</p> <p>If you want to wrap them, wrap them, but <strong>don't <em>wedge</em> them into an interface designed for another purpose.</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>wouldn't this require that I initiate the cache with session driver right away, like at the top of my application before anything else is called?</p> </blockquote> <p>Not necessarily. <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-id.php" rel="nofollow"><code>session_id()</code></a> returns an empty string when the session has not yet been started, at least at the interactive prompt. You can use this to detect if you need to start a session. </p>
