LIX. Memcache Functions

�vod

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 .

Po�adavky

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

PHP 4.3.3 or newer is required to use memcache extension.

Instalace

Memcache is currently available through PECL .

Also you can use the pear installer to install the memcache extension, using the following command: pear -v install memcache.

You can always download the tar.gz package and install memcache by hand:

P��klad 1. Memcache installation

gunzip memcache-xxx.tgz
tar -xvf memcache-xxx.tar
cd memcache-xxx
phpize
./configure && make && make install

Windows users can download the extension dll php_memcache.dll here: .

Typy prost�edk�

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

P�eddefinovan� konstanty

MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED (integer)

Used to turn on-the-fly data compression on with Memcache::set(), Memcache::add() and Memcache::replace().

P��klady

P��klad 2. 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.

Obsah

Just a small note on this extension: Unfortunately, it does not appear to support multiple servers, thereby crippling one of memcached most useful features and limiting you to a much smaller cache. However, there is a PHP client API (available ) which does provide such support.
