What is the difference between DRUPAL_CACHE_PER_PAGE and DRUPAL_NO_CACHE?

I'm developing a module that will generate 2 blocks for menu and it's sub-menu in different blocks and can't decide between those two options for the blocks.

  • Welcome to Drupal Answers! What don't you understand in "The block or element can change depending on the page being viewed"?

  • DRUPAL_NO_CACHE doesn't cache the item, ever.
  • DRUPAL_CACHE_PER_PAGE caches the item per page url -- this is useful for example if the block changes with a url context.

  • What means caches the item per page url?

    It means that, if you visit twice a page like node/1 and the block is visibile on those pages, the second time the block will be rendered from the cache.
