Some errors with PHP 7.2 and Elkarte 1.1.3

There are some active topics with reported errors in elkarte log, I'll try to post only the ones there aren't reported, sorry if I'll report something that was already reported.

I've done some tests on a test vps and I was able to install and use memcached. Should I use it instead of filebased cache?

Well php7.2 already have opcache which you can use but installing and using memcached won't hurt, I think.

The OpCache is really for storing "precompiled " versions of the php scripts.  Precompiling removies the need for PHP to load and parse scripts on each request.

memcached saves user "data"  ... results of user and common db queries.   This reducers the load on the database, maybe some other benefits buts that is basically it ... Most of that data is cached for say 30 - 120 seconds, some shorter some longer, but that is the scope of the benefit.  So useful if you have a somewhat active site, otherwise probably neutral or a minor determent.

memcached is a good choice as is apcu for filling the user data purpose.   Filebased can be a help, better if you are using ssd's.  We could improve the filebased somewhat but I've never felt it was the best solution for standard shared or basic vps setups (thats an IMO) so I've stuck with memcached or apcu.

The last was already reported (and fixed somewhere by @Spuds I think), the others are now tracked.

Another one: if I select all topics from Recycle board and then I delete them I get "  Call to undefined function updateMemberData()" error. The topics are deleted from Recycle board.

Adding
Code: [Select]
require_once(SUBSDIR . '/Members.subs.php');

Just before the foreach should solve that issue.

Why not use Database caching ?
Wie have implemented that and it's much faster the Filecache (5x)
Speed in the oder:
APCU
MemCached
Database caching
File based caching

If you have PHP 7.2  Opcode caching and your Hoster allowed that, you can use this also as custom cache .. very fast !!

TBH, in most of the cases, anything is faster than file-based caching.
Even non-cached code (actually verified in live servers).
Anyway I don't plan to spend much time on the caching code, I'd prefer at some point to swap it for some maintained library.
