Magento clear cache programatically

How to clear the Magento cache from PHP code? Below you will find two simple scripts which might help you to do this.

With these scripts you can easily clear your Magento cache programatically from code. You can call the code anywhere you want, set it up in cronjob or use it in a custom extension or something. The first code snippet is cleaning / emptying the Magento cache programatically. However, the second snippet will actually refresh the cache types. (Just like in Magento backend you can choose to clean / empty cache or to refresh all cache types).

      Hi,
      You can just create a new file, for example ‘clearcache.php’ and put it in the root of your server! Then you go to your website.nl/clearcache.php and the script executes. Hope this helps.
