Description
The cache class AhCache caches all serializable objects in local files. In short: nearly all kind of data you can serialize in PHP: strings, arrays, objects, … whatever.
You can use it for any long running process, i.e. database requests, requests to external resources/ APIs, any long running procedure and make them fast for a given amount of time. A few seconds or a minute.
Write it … and instead of repeating the long running process on a frequent requests you can access a cached result. What is quite fast.
