Data cache routine in PHP using CodeIgniter

This routine stores and reads temporary data to and from a file that can be used for minimizing database query.

 

# save object or array to a file.
function save_cache($username, $file, $data)
{
$this->load->helper('file');
if(!@mkdir("./data/profiles/".$username, 0777, false)) return false;
write_file('./data/profiles/'.$username.'/'.$file, base64_encode(serialize($data)));
return true;

Willing Willie of TV5 : Mas ok kesa sa Pilipnas Win na Win

image

Why? hindi ko lang maiwasan ipag compare… Mas “masa” ang approach ni Willie kesa kina RicoJ.  And lalo na… Willie always acknowledge yung mga sponsors nya… not only to endorse the brand but also… i-acknowledge din ng participant at malaman nila na bigay ng sponsor o ng network yun at hindi galing sa bulsa nya… unless galing sa talaga sa bulsa nya o initiative nya yung ibibigay… Unlike yung Win na Win… nagsasalita as if sa bulsa nila galing yung premyo… No wonder, pina patronize parin sya ng masa…

Sa Pilipinas Win na Win…. oh come on! magagaling silang singer pero… as host? noob! sobrang noob!

Kung papipiliin naman ako sa dalawang show… kung sila lang ang pagpipilian… kay Willie nako…
