<?

$obCache = new CPHPCache; 

// caching time - 30 minutes
$life_time = 30*60; 

// form the cache ID according to all parameters 
// which may affect the resulting HTML
$cache_id = $ELEMENT_ID.$SECTION_ID.$USER->GetUserGroupString(); 

// if the cache exists and is not expired...
if($obCache->InitCache($life_time, $cache_id, "/") :
    // obtain cached variables
    $vars = $obCache->GetVars();
    $SECTION_TITLE = $vars["SECTION_TITLE"];
else :
    // otherwise call the database
    $arSection = GetIBlockSection($SECTION_ID);
    $SECTION_TITLE = $arSection["NAME"];
endif;

// add a menu item to the navigation chain
$APPLICATION->AddChainItem($SECTION_TITLE, $SECTION_URL."SECTION_ID=".$SECTION_ID);

// start buffered output
if($obCache->StartDataCache()):

    // obtain the information block element parameters from the database
    if($arIBlockElement = GetIBlockElement($ELEMENT_ID, $IBLOCK_TYPE)):
        echo "<pre>"; print_r($arIBlockElement); echo "</pre>";
    endif;

    // write the preliminary buffered output to the cache file
    // together with an additional variable

        "SECTION_TITLE"    => $SECTION_TITLE
        ));
