$veggie = 'carrot';

apc_store('foo', $fruit);
apc_store('bar', $veggie);

if (apc_exists('foo')) {
    echo "Foo exists: ";
    echo apc_fetch('foo');
} else {
    echo "Foo does not exist";
}

echo PHP_EOL;
if (apc_exists('baz')) {
    echo "Baz exists.";
} else {
    echo "Baz does not exist";
}

echo PHP_EOL;

$ret = apc_exists(array('foo', 'donotexist', 'bar'));
var_dump($ret);

?>

Baz does not exist
array(2) {
  ["foo"]=>
  bool(true)
  ["bar"]=>
  bool(true)
}
