NullFrontend extends PhpFrontend
This class only acts as shortcut to construct a cache frontend with a null backend.
It extends PhpFrontend to be sure it can also be used for all types of caches (also the one requiring a PhpFrontend like "core").

- $backend : BackendInterface|TaggableBackendInterface
- $identifier : string
- Identifies this cache
Methods
- __construct() : mixed
- Constructs the cache
- collectGarbage() : mixed
- Does garbage collection
- flush() : mixed
- Removes all cache entries of this cache.
- flushByTag() : mixed
- Removes all cache entries of this cache which are tagged by the specified tag.
- flushByTags() : mixed
- Removes all cache entries of this cache which are tagged by any of the specified tags.
- get() : string
- Finds and returns a variable value from the cache.
- getBackend() : BackendInterface
- Returns the backend used by this cache
- getIdentifier() : string
- Returns this cache's identifier
- has() : bool
- Checks if a cache entry with the specified identifier exists.
- isValidEntryIdentifier() : bool
- Checks the validity of an entry identifier. Returns TRUE if it's valid.
- isValidTag() : bool
- Checks the validity of a tag. Returns TRUE if it's valid.
- remove() : bool
- Removes the given cache entry from the cache.
- require() : mixed
- Loads PHP code from the cache and require() it right away. Note require() in comparison to requireOnce() is only "safe" if the cache entry only contain stuff that can be required multiple times during one request. For instance a class definition would fail here.
- requireOnce() : mixed
- Loads PHP code from the cache and require_onces it right away.
- set() : mixed
- Saves the PHP source code in the cache.

- $entryIdentifier : string
-
An identifier which describes the cache entry to load
Return values
mixed —Potential return value from the include operation

set(mixed $entryIdentifier, mixed $data[, array<string|int, mixed> $tags = [] ][, mixed $lifetime = null ]) : mixed
Parameters
- $entryIdentifier : mixed
