- <p>$SESS->cache is an array provided for you to use for "flash" content, i.e. values that you would like to persist during a page load, helping you eliminate redundant queries and PHP processing. To avoid conflicts with other first and third-party use of this array, always access it as a multi-dimensional array, using your class name as the primary array name, and your variables within. Naming conventions should follow that of other variables: lowercase letters, underscores for separators between words, and meaningful names.</p>

- <p>Here is an example of how one might utilize the $SESS->cache array. This way, no matter how many times this method is called on a given page load (for instance, a tag being used twice on a template, or within a tag that might loop, such as a plugin within the Weblog entries tag), the query and loading of the array occurs only once.</p>
