Question

As I’ve finally found a binary of memcache for PHP 5.4.4 on Windows, I’m speeding up the application I’m currently developing.

I’ve succeeded setting memcache as Doctrine ORM Mapping Cache driver, but I need to fix another leakage: Forms built using annotations.

I’m creating forms according to the Annotations section of the docs. Unfortunately, this takes a lot of time, especially when creating multiple forms for a single page.

Is it possible to add caching to this process? I’ve browsed through the code but it seems like the Zend\Form\Annotation\AnnotationBuilder always creates the form by reflecting the code and parsing the annotations. Thanks in advance.

You might wanna try something like this:

class ZendFormCachedController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    protected $_formId = 'form';

    public function indexAction()
    {
            $frontend = array(
                    'lifetime' => 7200,
                    'automatic_serialization' => true);

            $backend = array('cache_dir' => '/tmp/');
            $cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Core', 'File', $frontend, $backend);

            if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
                    $form = $this->getForm(new Zend_Form);
            } else if (! $form = $cache->load($this->_formId)) {
                    $form = $this->getForm(new Zend_Form);
                    $cache->save($form->__toString(), $this->_formId);
            }

            $this->getHelper('layout')->setLayout('zend-form');
            $this->view->form = $form;
    }
