PHP Trivandrum

Howdy,

This comes useful when you think about getting content from other sites like RSS Feeds, text feeds, currency conversion rates etc. I tried to make this several times without such an enhancement. Finally the need arose and I have made this a reality.

I will need to find a better code highlighter plugin for wordpress before I can post many php codes and classes. Meanwhile this is being trying for a change:

class fileMgr
{
var $cache;
var $cacheTtl;

function fileMgr($cache = “cache”, $cacheTtl = 86400)
{
if(is_dir($cache))
$this->cache = $cache;
else
trigger_error(”Cache directory does not exist!”,1);

$this->cacheTtl = $cacheTtl;
}

function getFileContents($url)
{
$cacheFile = $this->cache . “/” . md5($url);
if(!$this->isAlive ($cacheFile))
$this->fetchFile($url, $cacheFile);

return file_get_contents ( $cacheFile );
}

function isAlive($cacheFile)
{
if(!file_exists($cacheFile)) return false;

$mtime = date(”U”, filemtime ( $cacheFile ));
$ctime = date(”U”);

if(($mtime + $this->cacheTtl) < $ctime) return false;
else return true;
}

function fetchFile ( $url, $cacheFile)
{
$tmp = file_get_contents( $url );
$fp = fopen ( $cacheFile, “w” );
fwrite ( $fp, $tmp );
fclose ( $fp );
}
}
