Store data in the persistent cache.

Parameters

$cid: The cache ID of the data to store.

$data: The data to store in the cache. Complex data types must be serialized first.

$expire: One of the following values:

  • CACHE_PERMANENT: Indicates that the item should never be removed unless explicitly told to using cache_clear_all() with a cache ID.
  • CACHE_TEMPORARY: Indicates that the item should be removed at the next general cache wipe.
  • A Unix timestamp: Indicates that the item should be kept at least until the given time, after which it behaves like CACHE_TEMPORARY.

$headers: A string containing HTTP header information for cached pages.
