LXXXVI. Memcache Functions

Introdução

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/.

Dependências

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.

Instalação

Esta estensão PECL não vem compilada com o PHP. Informações para a instalação desta extensão PECL podem ser encontradas no manual no capitulo entitulado Instalação de extensões PECL. Informações adicionais como novas versões, downloads, arquivos fontes, manutenções, e um Changelog, podem ser obtidos aqui: http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache.

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

Windows users will enable php_memcache.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. Você pode baixar esta extensão PECL DLL a apartir de downloads PHP ou em http://snaps.php.net/.

Configurações em execução

O comportamento dessas funções podem ser modificado pelas configurações do php.ini.

Breve descrição das diretivas de configuração.

memcache.allow_failover boolean

Whether to transparently failover to other servers on errors.

memcache.max_failover_attempts integer

Defines how many servers to try when setting and getting data. Used only in conjunction with memcache.allow_failover.

memcache.chunk_size integer

Data will be transferred in chunks of this size, setting the value lower requires more network writes. Try increasing this value to 32768 if noticing otherwise inexplicable slowdowns.

memcache.default_port string

The default TCP port number to use when connecting to the memcached server if no other port is specified.

Tipos Resource

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

NameDescription
MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED (integer) Used to turn on-the-fly data compression on with Memcache::set(), Memcache::add() e Memcache::replace().

Exemplos

Exemplo 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, false, 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.
