How to implement memcache in cakephp?

I am a newbie to php and cakephp, recently I was assigned a job to implement memcache in my app so that its performance can be increased. Can anyone suggest some do开发者_运维问答cumentation on this topic for me? Thanks.

This might be a bit late ... but the Cake core has support for Memcached built in (at least in the latest versions, 2.0.x and 2.1).

Have a look at Config/core.php in your app, and you should see these lines (commented):

   Cache::config('default', array(
          'engine' => 'Memcache', //[required]
          'duration' => 3600, //[optional]
          'probability' => 100, //[optional]
          'prefix' => Inflector::slug(APP_DIR) . '_', //[optional]  prefix every cache file with this string
          'servers' => array(
                  '127.0.0.1:11211' // localhost, default port 11211
          ), //[optional]
          'persistent' => true, // [optional] set this to false for non-persistent connections
          'compress' => false, // [optional] compress data in Memcache (slower, but uses less memory)
  ));

You can uncomment these lines and test it out with a Memcached install. Make sure you have Memcached installed somewhere (localhost or elsewhere) and you are pointing to it.

Memcache is one of the supported Cache engines by the built-in Cache class. The Cache class is a wrapper for interacting with your Cache and you can read everything about it here: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/caching.html
