If I was to cache an entire page, using the Zend Framework, where would I do it? In the controller or view? I have no idea how I could implement a page cache in an MVC design pattern, lol. Please keep your laughing to a minimum.

That is a good idea. But for now, the only problem I was really having was too many mysql connections.

You should consider caching entire pages, not just database queries. Would decrease your load even further.

Right now, as I am just testing it out with the site, I am using a File backend. I know that is not anywhere near efficient when placed against memcache. I should work on changing that here soon to give the site a little more of a performance boost.

Zend_Cache is a great tool, especially when used with a very efficient backend like memchached or on a ramdisk. The best approach I have found is to use a controller plugin that has a preDispatchLoop or dispatchLoopStartup method, so you can still perform other necessary tasks through various other controller plugins like logging.

Here’s to the Zend Framework enjoying more and more attention!
