Hello there,

I want to put a piece of php in one of my templates that will manually clear all expression engine caches. I’ve found the relevant function in the docs (see below) but I can’t for the life of me make it work. Can you help me?

Ideally I need a complete code sample that includes everything I need to make this work.

clear_caching(which [str], sub-directory [str], relationships [bool])

Typical! After a day of struggling with this, I worked it out as soon as I’d posted here. The answer if you’re interested is:

<?php $this->EE->functions->clear_caching('all', '', TRUE); ?>

Thank you for solving and then sharing this!

Thanks for posting your solution back here, Mike! A word of warning to anyone using PHP in templates to just be aware of potential security implications before enabling PHP in your templates. More about those security concerns can be found here.
