How FXneoCache Works
FXneoCache works by storing the results of FX.php "find" and "find all" requests. After a "find" or "find all" request is made, FXneoCache does the following:
- FXneoCache checks to see if it has a recently cached version of the request.
- If a recently cached version exists, FXneoCache retrieves results from the cache and returns them without having to search FileMaker.
- If a recently cached version doesn't exist, FXneoCache retrieves results from FileMaker then stores them for later retrieval as cached results.
FXneoCache: Fast, Flexible, and Easy!
FXneoCache is fast. Because FXneoCache caches data using quick storage mechanisms, page load times can be much faster.
As a simple test, we ran a load testing utility to benchmark the performance of uncached FX.php versus FXneoCache-enabled
requests. The chart to the right shows how in a test of 10 concurrent series of 10 requests, FXneoCache-enabled requests were
approximately three times as fast.
FXneoCache is flexible. FXneoCache supports two methods of caching: MySQL and file-based caching. This allows
you to choose the solution which best fits your needs.
FXneoCache is easy. Because FXneoCache extends FX.php, very little changes to application code are required to leverage caching.
Initialization
Below is an example of standard FX.php initialization:
$BookQuery = new FX($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, $dataSourceType);
Below is an example of an FXneoCache-enabled FX.php initialization:
$BookQuery = new FXneocache($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, $dataSourceType);
Find Request
Below is an example of a standard FX.php "find" request:
$BookData = $BookQuery->FMFind();
Below is an example of an FXneoCache-enabled FX.php "find" request":
$BookData = $BookQuery->FMCacheFind();
Find All Request
Below is an example of a standard FX.php "find all" request:
$BookData = $BookQuery->FMFindAll();
Below is an example of an FXneoCache-enabled FX.php "find" request":
$BookData = $BookQuery->FMCacheFindAll();
As the examples about show, there is very little difference in standard and cached-enabled code!
