Triggering these actions on an event like a user logout isn't a very
good idea either. Because not many users actually use the logout
button. In fact, triggering this with any event, like for example the
login could make this event very slow...
I am very much in favor of introducing caching into the code. But i'm
more the person who likes to cache the things for reuse in the same run
(like we already did with registrations, settings...). I don't really
like the idea that we start caching between multiple runs due to the
fact that it's much harder to debug these things. I'm much more in favor
to solve these performance issues by denormalizing your database layer
and storing some of these values locally in your application instead of
recalculating them everytime.
Best regards

I would rather go for serialize/unserialize as it is meant to store
objects.
As for file serialization this is certainly doable but I would make
that just another implementation. In this case we have to ensure we
use a shared cache if we use several application servers.
I didn't realize that cron may not be available. A good point indeed.
So in this case we can have a clean up script and trigger it on some
recurring event - for example when the user logout.

If you go for cron, don't forget that chamilo should be usable on
mutalised hosting where cron is not available. What about file
serialization and var_export /__set_state() functions ?
the mtime can be checked directly in php code

I believe a DB implementation would be a good first move - at least
we are sure it will be available :-).
I would just ensure the implementation is compatible in term of
interface with APC - which should be more or less a standard by now.
I.e. have functions such as add($key, $value, $time_to_leave) etc
I don't think we should clear the cache by logout. After all some
caching may still be usefull after logout. Cron would be my favorite.

I have made a wiki page on this subject:
http://support.chamilo.org/projects/chamilo-20/wiki/Caching
I know striclty speaking this is a new feature but I am convinced we
really need some kind or caching before we can release the handbook
app.
I could implement it for now just for the handbook, but if I am making
the effort anyway I think it would be better to implement the
platform-wide classes right-away, no?
So I propose making the Cache class and just doing one implementation
for now.
Still not sure what this one implementation should be.
nobody has any experience with caching data/objects (not pages)?
short-term serializing and storing in the database might be the best
default system? With some cron-script to periodically clean out the
table, because we can clean-up at logout, but not many users will
actualy do that I think (I never do ;-))

We may abstract the caching mecanism.
Something like:
class Cache
class ApcCache extends Cache
class MemCache extends Cache
class DatabaseCache extends Cache
class SessionCache extends Cache
class EmptyCache extends Cache //Empty pattern
...
With a factory method inside the Cache class. If the cache
is not
available - because memcach is not installed for example - then
we can return the Empty cache that does nothing or defaults to
anoter implementation.
That would make Chamilo independant from specific cache
implemenation
yet providing the service for those applications that need it.

I would not use memcached or another tool for caching because this
would mean that we would demand yet another package to be installed
on the server before chamilo can be used.
