Memcache::get

(PECL memcache >= 0.2.0)

Memcache::get — Retrieve item from the server

Description

string Memcache::get ( string $key [, int &$flags ] )

array Memcache::get ( array $keys [, array &$flags ] )

Memcache::get() returns previously stored data if an item with such key exists on the server at this moment.

You can pass array of keys to Memcache::get() to get array of values. The result array will contain only found key-value pairs.

Parameters

key: The key or array of keys to fetch.
flags: If present, flags fetched along with the values will be written to this parameter. These flags are the same as the ones given to for example Memcache::set(). The lowest byte of the int is reserved for pecl/memcache internal usage (e.g. to indicate compression and serialization status).

Return Values

Returns the string associated with the key or FALSE on failure or if such key was not found.
