Good Caching Method

[upgrader]

Hi there, I've never really done any caching at all so I'm looking for suggestions for caching the results of this script so that instead of it running everytime the page loads it only say once every hour.

 

   
                                      $html = file_get_contents('http://badhausen.hlstatsx.com/?mode=players&game=css');
   
                                      $dom = new domDocument;
   
                                      $dom->loadHTML($html);
   
                                      $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
   
                                     
   
                                      $x = new DomXPath($dom);                                     
   
                                      $results = $x->query('//table/tr[position() >= 2 and position() <= 4]/td[2]/font/a');
                                     
  
                                      foreach ($results as $result) {  
                                              echo "<li>".$result->nodeValue."</li>\n";  
                                              }

Try do Google with "caching with php".

<FilesMatch "\.(css|js|swf|flv)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, private, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>

Thanks for your input... notice how I was asking for a good caching method in this situation...

 

@dreamwest: what does that do etc? Could you explain it?

It caches everything with the filesmatch extension. max-age is in seconds

Hmmm, I don't really think that will work as that script above is part of a wordpress page so won't it screw that up?

 

Can anyone else help?

It wont screw anything up.

 

Add it to .htaccess file on your root directory.

How does it work though? How does that cache the results from my script above?

Will Cache_lite help you? A good article is at:

Itll cache any file, but not queries from a database
