Clearing Symfony cache for another application

Question

I would like to clear my frontend application\'s cache from an action in my backend application.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You can create instance of sfTask and run it like this (in sf 1.2):

    $task = new sfCacheClearTask(sfContext::getInstance()->getEventDispatcher(), new sfFormatter());

    $arguments = array();

    // type can be one of: i18n, routing, template, module, config
    $options = array(
        'frontend'  => 'app',
        'routing'   => 'type', 
        'prod'      => 'env',
    );

    $task->run($arguments, $options);

For all possible arguments and options see source code of appropriate sfTask...
