Set Cache Dir

[Surt]

Hi, I was wondering if its possible to set the cache dir on the fly, without creating an instance. Actually, I don't know how to create a cache dir to activate it.

Hello, I'm not sure I understand your problem?

[Surt]

Hi @Gregwar . I was triying to set the cache folder, using:

/**
     * Change the caching directory
     */
    public function setCacheDir($cacheDir)
    {
        $this->cacheDir = $cacheDir;
    }

But I can't call it as static: Image::setCacheDir($afolder) since it says I'm calling a non static method.

[Gregwar]

The cache directory will be created automatically if you're worried about it, you just have to let enough permissions to your web server to do it

[Surt]

yep, but, where is created? It will be great to add the possibility to set the cache dir on the class, as a static.

[Gregwar]

You mean you're trying to change the default cache directory?

<?php

class MyApplicationSpecificImage extends Gregwar\Image\Image
{
    protected $cacheDir = 'my/custom/path/';
}

[Surt]

Yep, I will do that. Thanks @Gregwar ! keep the good work.

Sorry for bother, I was wondering if doing this, to get binary content of image from caché, is ok:

    public function guessGet($quality = 80){
        return $this->open($this->cacheFile('guess', $quality))->get();
    }

[Gregwar]

You'd better use file_get_contents, or readfile here

[Surt]

will do :)

[Gregwar]

Maybe I should add a flag to get the binary data when calling cacheFile, or a method to do that

[Surt]

It will be great to have it implemented.

[Gregwar]

You can now use cacheData() to do that

[Surt]

hahaaha, Great! Thanks a lot @Gregwar
