My question

I have used this great library for a while, thanks!

I have one issue: I cannot delete a specific cache item. Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong?

I have something like this for saving the item - this is working great, and I can receive the cache. Also, I can clear all caches.

    public function save(string $html): void
    {
        try {
            $key = $this->getKey(); // for the specific case, $key this is: **01765bbaf27f4d1467cb0878208f6ccbc9463770**
            $item = $this->cache->getItem($key);

            if (!$item->isHit()) {
                $item->set($html)->expiresAfter(self::TTL);
                $this->cache->save($item);
            }
        } catch (PhpfastcacheInvalidArgumentException $e) {
            LogService::error($e->getMessage(), $e->getTrace());
        }
    }

However, I can't figure out how to delete a specific item. I tried something like this:

    public function deleteItem($key) // $key = **01765bbaf27f4d1467cb0878208f6ccbc9463770**
    {
        $this->cache->deleteItem($key);
    }

Doing this will clear the whole cache.

What am I missing? 🤔

Hello,

Please read the PSR-6 documentation. 🤷🏻

Thanks.

[Geolim4]

Also if you want a simplified way to deal with cache you can use our PSR-16 adapter .

This should do it, but it deletes every item in the cache: $this->cache->deleteItem($key); 🤔

I don't know what to say, maybe a wrong implementation from your project... Phpfastcache is heavily tested and such a big bug would immediately thrown the CI down :/

[MathiasReker]

You are right, something is wrong with my implementation. I just can't figure out what is wrong. I will do some more research. Thanks,
