Description: ------------ Greetings, it would be very useful for me to have something like a extendLife($time) method. The idea is that I have 1 filecache/user on my website (to cache some data rarely used that shouldn't be store in $_SESSION). As long as they're connected (it can vary from 30 seconds to 1 hour) I don't want the cache file to be removed. But as there is a lot of hourly connections I don't want to set a 1 hour life, I'd rather use ->extendLife($time) or whatever each time the cache is valid. Example : include_once("PEAR/Cache/Lite.php"); $cache = new Cache_Lite(array( "lifeTime" => 10 * 60, "automaticCleaningFactor" => 1000, "hashedDirectoryLevel" => 2 )); if ($data = $cache->get($iduser)) { ... $cache->extendLife(15*60); // extend life with another 10 minutes } else { // Regenerate data } Is there a way to do it right now ? Thank you in advance Take care

I think it's easy to implement this, i will try to add into 1.7.0 beta 2

Great ! I really appreciate it :)

Ok extendLife() is implemented in CVS but without the lifetime argument (technical reasons). When called, the cache is "touched", so it will be ok for another lifeTime period.

fixed in CVS

Extra cool, i'm going to test it this week-end, thanks for the extra fast reply and changes :)
