Re: PHP XSLT caching

Hi all, i was wondering whats the best approach to do next. I have an xml file delivered from service of my partner. On my web server (windows) i have xslt files used for xml transformation. Those files are getting bigger, so i have request to cash them and use cashed. I was thinkging about memcahce php(dunno if it will work on windows server and tbh never used it before). So i am sure that there must be several ways to cash xslt files. I google for this, but i am not sure that i found any solution i can use. What would be the best approach to solve this? I just would like to see more ideas :) LOL sure, if someone already have a good working solution i would appreciate any link or code :0)

Well you have to define what you actually want to do do here as it's a little unclear from your description. Do you want to cache the XSLT files themselves or do you want to cache the result of *applying* the XSLT files to the input XML? If you just want to cache the XSLT itself (e.g. loaded into a DOM document object) then there is little point as you would have to serialize and deserialize the dom document objects before storing them (via extending the class and adding __sleep() and __wakeup() methods) as I am pretty sure Dom Document doesn't do this automatically (last I checked which was admittedly a while ago!). This only saves a small amount of overhead. If you are looking for a good set of classes that can handle generic caching, I'd strongly recommend using the Zend_Cache system. http://www.framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.cache.html Zend cache will support disk-based caching and memcache or APC too all via the same API.
