You might want to take a look at Zend Cache
http://framework.zend.com/manual/de/zend.cache.html

I usually store the result of the SQL queries somewhere (depending on what you are looking for, i.e. sometimes is caching it in $_SESSION ok (user related data), sometimes it's not (big resultsets for not user dependant queries) and then my class just checks if the cache exists and continues accordingly.
