Multiple Caches Per Page {#caching.multiple.caches}
 | 
						|
========================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can have multiple cache files for a single call to
 | 
						|
[`display()`](#api.display) or [`fetch()`](#api.fetch). Let\'s say that
 | 
						|
a call to `display('index.tpl')` may have several different output
 | 
						|
contents depending on some condition, and you want separate caches for
 | 
						|
each one. You can do this by passing a `$cache_id` as the second
 | 
						|
parameter to the function call.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <?php
 | 
						|
    require('Smarty.class.php');
 | 
						|
    $smarty = new Smarty;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $smarty->setCaching(Smarty::CACHING_LIFETIME_CURRENT);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $my_cache_id = $_GET['article_id'];
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $smarty->display('index.tpl', $my_cache_id);
 | 
						|
    ?>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Above, we are passing the variable `$my_cache_id` to
 | 
						|
[`display()`](#api.display) as the `$cache_id`. For each unique value of
 | 
						|
`$my_cache_id`, a separate cache will be generated for `index.tpl`. In
 | 
						|
this example, `article_id` was passed in the URL and is used as the
 | 
						|
`$cache_id`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **Note**
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> Be very cautious when passing values from a client (web browser) into
 | 
						|
> Smarty or any PHP application. Although the above example of using the
 | 
						|
> article\_id from the URL looks handy, it could have bad consequences.
 | 
						|
> The `$cache_id` is used to create a directory on the file system, so
 | 
						|
> if the user decided to pass an extremely large value for article\_id,
 | 
						|
> or write a script that sends random article\_id\'s at a rapid pace,
 | 
						|
> this could possibly cause problems at the server level. Be sure to
 | 
						|
> sanitize any data passed in before using it. In this instance, maybe
 | 
						|
> you know the article\_id has a length of ten characters and is made up
 | 
						|
> of alpha-numerics only, and must be a valid article\_id in the
 | 
						|
> database. Check for this!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Be sure to pass the same `$cache_id` as the second parameter to
 | 
						|
[`isCached()`](#api.is.cached) and [`clearCache()`](#api.clear.cache).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <?php
 | 
						|
    require('Smarty.class.php');
 | 
						|
    $smarty = new Smarty;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $smarty->setCaching(Smarty::CACHING_LIFETIME_CURRENT);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $my_cache_id = $_GET['article_id'];
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    if(!$smarty->isCached('index.tpl',$my_cache_id)) {
 | 
						|
        // No cache available, do variable assignments here.
 | 
						|
        $contents = get_database_contents();
 | 
						|
        $smarty->assign($contents);
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $smarty->display('index.tpl',$my_cache_id);
 | 
						|
    ?>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can clear all caches for a particular `$cache_id` by passing NULL as
 | 
						|
the first parameter to [`clearCache()`](#api.clear.cache).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <?php
 | 
						|
    require('Smarty.class.php');
 | 
						|
    $smarty = new Smarty;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $smarty->setCaching(Smarty::CACHING_LIFETIME_CURRENT);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    // clear all caches with "sports" as the $cache_id
 | 
						|
    $smarty->clearCache(null,'sports');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $smarty->display('index.tpl','sports');
 | 
						|
    ?>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this manner, you can "group" your caches together by giving them the
 | 
						|
same `$cache_id`.
