Memcache::set

(PECL memcache >= 0.2.0)
Store data at the server
bool Memcache::set ( string $key, mixed $var [, int $flag [, int $expire ]] )

Memcache::set() stores an item var with key on the memcached server. Parameter expire is expiration time in seconds. If it's 0, the item never expires (but memcached server doesn't guarantee this item to be stored all the time, it could be deleted from the cache to make place for other items). You can use MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED constant as flag value if you want to use on-the-fly compression (uses zlib).

Note:

Remember that resource variables (i.e. file and connection descriptors) cannot be stored in the cache, because they cannot be adequately represented in serialized state.

memcache_set()

Parameters:
key

The key that will be associated with the item.

var

The variable to store. Strings and integers are stored as is, other types are stored serialized.

flag

Use MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED to store the item compressed (uses zlib).

expire

Expiration time of the item. If it's equal to zero, the item will never expire. You can also use Unix timestamp or a number of seconds starting from current time, but in the latter case the number of seconds may not exceed 2592000 (30 days).

Returns:

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples:

$memcache_obj = memcache_connect('memcache_host', 11211);

/*
set value of item with key 'var_key'
using 0 as flag value, compression is not used

*/
memcache_set($memcache_obj, 'var_key', 'some variable', 0, 30);

echo memcache_get($memcache_obj, 'var_key');

?>
