Data Cache
The Zend Data Cache component provides a set of PHP functions to improve performance by storing data in the cache.
The Zend Data Cache is used to cache different types of data (e.g., strings, arrays and objects), as well as script output or script output elements for various durations. Items can be stored in shared memory (SHM) or to disk. Namespaces are supported, to group cached objects for easy management.
