RE: [SMARTY] caching files and sessions

My code works by checking if the cached template  exists using:

if(
(!$Nav->tpl->is_cached('content.html',cache_name()))) {
if($_PCONFIG['query_f'] != '') {
// function to return database query results
$data	=	$_PCONFIG['query_f']();
}

cache_name() returns the name of the cached file, eg


 s1_l10_g1_cGlobalOverview_y200503_cid9_p
ageoverview_departments in:

 s1_l10_g1_cGlobalOverview_y200503_cid9_p
ageoverview_departments^%%11^11A^11A
9DC5F%%content.html

The cache doesn't seem to be respecting the cache life_time value of -1


So no db query is performed if the template exists (in theory!) but this
does not seem to be happening


I am using version 2.6.5-dev



Cheers
Ash

I think you're doing this at the wrong level, what you must cache is your
data not the compiled templates, there're a number of php apis that have
data caching abilities.

Btw the problem is not ^%%11^11A^11A9DC5F%% as it's the id it adds to the
file, also you haven't told us which smarty version are you using
