Memcached::get — Retrieve an item

Description

public mixed Memcached::get ( string $key [, callable $cache_cb [, float &$cas_token ]] )

Memcached::get() returns the item that was previously stored under the key. If the item is found and cas_token variable is provided, it will contain the CAS token value for the item. See Memcached::cas() for how to use CAS tokens. Read-through caching callback may be specified via cache_cb parameter.

Parameters

key

The key of the item to retrieve.

cache_cb

Read-through caching callback or NULL.

cas_token

The variable to store the CAS token in.

Return Values

Returns the value stored in the cache or FALSE otherwise. The Memcached::getResultCode() will return Memcached::RES_NOTFOUND if the key does not exist.
