Are there any recommended libraries or tools for caching mysql queries in PHP applications?

Caching MySQL queries in PHP applications can help improve performance by reducing the number of times the same queries are executed. One recommended library for caching MySQL queries in PHP is "Memcached" which is a distributed memory caching system. By caching query results in memory, subsequent requests for the same data can be served faster without hitting the database. 

// Connect to MySQL database
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

// Check if Memcached extension is loaded
if (!extension_loaded('memcached')) {
    die('Memcached extension not available');
}

// Connect to Memcached server
$memcached = new Memcached();
$memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211);

// Define a unique key for the query
$key = 'unique_key_for_query';

// Check if the query result is already cached
if ($result = $memcached->get($key)) {
    // If cached result exists, use it
    echo "Using cached result: " . $result;
} else {
    // If cached result does not exist, execute the query
    $query = "SELECT * FROM table";
    $result = $mysqli->query($query)->fetch_all();

    // Cache the query result for future use
    $memcached->set($key, $result, 3600); // Cache for 1 hour

    echo "Query result: " . $result;
}

// Close MySQL connection
$mysqli->close();
