## Example

Example 30-1. Usage
    <?php
    require_once "Cache/Lite.php";

    $options = array(
        'cacheDir' => '/tmp/',
        'lifeTime' => 7200,
        'pearErrorMode' => CACHE_LITE_ERROR_DIE
    );
    $cache = new Cache_Lite($options);

    $cache->remove('id_of_the_page');

    if ($data = $cache->get('id_of_the_page')) {

        // Cache hit !
        // [IMPOSSIBLE !]

    } else {

        // No valid cache found (you have to make and save the page)
        $data = '<html><head><title>test</title></head><body><p>this is a test</p></body></html>';
        $cache->save($data);

    }

    ?>

This is a dummy example because the cache is destroyed at the beginning of the script ! So the first case of the if statement is impossible.
