Zend_Cache & MVC

[JARUZ]

Hello:

Are there examples on how to use Zend_Cache together with the MVC pattern? The documentation (and also this mailing list after several hours of searching) provide only examples for old-style procedural PHP applications (basically using Zend_Cache as a stand-alone package), but nothing about how to combine Zend_Cache with Controllers/Actions/Views/etc.

I do not have any 'echo' statements in my code; everything is sent to the browser through $frontController->dispatch();... I would like to use cache within certain specific Actions from certain specific Controllers.

For example:

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        if($cache->start('mycache')) {
                $this->view->title = 'Cached' . time();            
        }
        else {
                $this->view->title = 'Not Cached' . time();            
        }
    }
}

Do I make sense or am I just not getting something on how the Cache should work? If anybody could give me some pointers, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,


Antonio

I think this could be done with a plugin, you can check inside you
module which module/controller/action is requested and then just act as
needed.

have a look at the last example of this page :

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.cache.frontends.html#zend.cache.frontends.page

Hi Fabien: I have looked at the examples on that page... there are no examples regarding caching within a Controller while using the MVC pattern. I.e. I have no 'echo' statements anywhere... it is all sent to the browser at the dispatch(); ... so as far I can understand none of the examples on that page can be applied if I need to cache certain bits & pieces of my application (not whole pages), right?

Greetings,


Antonio
