Memcache::delete

(PECL memcache >= 0.2.0)

Delete item from the server

bool Memcache::delete ( string $key [, int $timeout = 0 ] )

Memcache::delete() deletes an item with the key.

Parameters:

key

The key associated with the item to delete.

timeout

This deprecated parameter is not supported, and defaults to 0 seconds. Do not use this parameter.

Returns:

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Changelog:

Unknown

It's not recommended to use the timeout parameter. The behavior differs between memcached versions, but setting to 0 is safe. Other values for this deprecated feature may cause the memcache delete to fail.
