# WP internal Object Cache (not plugin)

 * Hi there,
 * I am running WordPress 2.8.5 (_on Hostgator, sometimes it seems to be important_!)
 * I have the following defined in wp-config.php
 *     ```
       // caching
       define ('ENABLE_CACHE',true);
       define ('WP_CACHE', true);
       ```
   
 * I do have the folder “cache” under ‘wp-content’ (and it is chmod 644, the highest
   the hosting allows, but the processes are run as ‘owner’, so it is not the permissions
   issue)
 * And I do have the following code in my pages:
 *     ```
       $mycache = wp_cache_get( 'mycache' );
       if ($mycache == false) {
       	$mycache = "this is mycache variable";
       	$expire=60*30; // 60 seconds by 30 minutes
       	wp_cache_set( 'mycache', $mycache ,'faces', $expire);
       } else {
       	// the cache has worked
       	var_dump( $mycache );
       }
       ```
   
 * And nothing happens. SO my question is – how does the WP Object cache operates?
   Can I use it in amy other way (for I am retrieveing remote pages and it is overly
   time consuming – and the retrieved pages do not change very often anyway)
