-
If you have multiple caches for a template, you can clear a specific cache by supplying the
cache_id
as the second parameter. -
You can also pass a
$compile_id
as a third parameter. You can group templates together so they can be removed as a group, see the caching section for more information. -
As an optional fourth parameter, you can supply a minimum age in seconds the cache file must be before it will get cleared.
Note
Since Smarty version 3.1.14 it is possible to delete cache files by their individual expiration time at creation by passing constant SMARTY::CLEAR_EXPIRED as fourth parameter.
<?php
// clear the cache for a template
$smarty->clearCache('index.tpl');
// clear the cache for a particular cache id in an multiple-cache template
$smarty->clearCache('index.tpl', 'MY_CACHE_ID');
?>
