clear_cache()

Description

void clear_cache ( string template [, string cache_id [, string compile_id [, int expire_time]]])

• If you have multiple caches for a template, you can clear a specific cache by supplying the cache_id as the second parameter.

• You can also pass a $compile_id as a third parameter. You can group templates together so they can be removed as a group, see the caching section for more information.

• As an optional fourth parameter, you can supply a minimum age in seconds the cache file must be before it will get cleared.

Example 13-1. clear_cache() <?php // clear the cache for a template $smarty->clear_cache('index.tpl'); // clear the cache for a particular cache id in an multiple-cache template $smarty->clear_cache('index.tpl', 'MY_CACHE_ID'); ?>
