LX. Memcache Functions

Einführung

Memcache module provides handy procedural and object oriented interface to memcached, highly effective caching daemon, which was especially designed to decrease database load in dynamic web applications.

More information about memcached can be found at http://www.danga.com/memcached/.

Anforderungen

This module uses functions of zlib to support on-the-fly data compression. Zlib is required to install this module.

PHP 4.3.3 or newer is required to use the memcache extension.

Installation

This PECL extension is not bundled with PHP. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache.

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with MemCache support by using the --with-memcache[=DIR] option.

Windows users will enable php_memcache.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. You may download this PECL extensions DLL from the PHP Downloads page or at http://snaps.php.net/.

Name	Description
`MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED` (integer)	Used to turn on-the-fly data compression on with Memcache::set(), Memcache::add() und Memcache::replace().

Laufzeit Konfiguration

Diese Erweiterung definiert keine Konfigurationseinstellungen in der php.ini.

Resource Typen

There is only one resource type used in memcache module - it's the link identifier for a cache server connection.

Beispiele

Beispiel 1. memcache extension overview example
<?php $memcache = new Memcache; $memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect"); $version = $memcache->getVersion(); echo "Server's version: ".$version."<br/>\n"; $tmp_object = new stdClass; $tmp_object->str_attr = 'test'; $tmp_object->int_attr = 123; $memcache->set('key', $tmp_object, 10) or die ("Failed to save data at the server"); echo "Store data in the cache (data will expire in 10 seconds)<br/>\n"; $get_result = $memcache->get('key'); echo "Data from the cache:<br/>\n"; var_dump($get_result); ?>

In the above example, an object is being saved in the cache and then retrieved back. Object and other non-scalar types are serialized before saving, so it's impossible to store resources (i.e. connection identifiers and others) in the cache.
