The `CacheInterface` interface defines functions that need to be implemented. To create a new cache that implements `CacheInterface` you must implement following functions: * [loadData](#the-loaddata-function) * [saveData](#the-savedata-function) * [getTime](#the-gettime-function) * [purgeCache](#the-purgecache-function) Find a [template](#template) at the end of this file. # Functions ## The `loadData` function This function loads data from the cache and returns the data in the same format provided to the [saveData](#the-savedata-function) function. ```PHP loadData(): mixed ``` ## The `saveData` function This function stores the given data into the cache and returns the object instance. ```PHP saveData(mixed $data): self ``` ## The `getTime` function ## The `purgeCache` function This function removes any data from the cache that is not within the given duration. The duration is specified in seconds and defines the period between now and the oldest item to keep. ```PHP purgeCache(int $duration): null ``` # Template This is the bare minimum template for a new cache: ```PHP
