This is an official repository for pecl-memcache plugin since 2019. This repository contains modified pecl-memcache plugin ported to PHP8, which was originally developed for the need of hosting company in Slovakia (Websupport.sk). The latest release is 8.2 (released: 2023-04-30) with support for PHP 8.0+ (incl. PHP 8.2). Please use version 4.0.5.1 (released: 2020-12-19) for PHP 7.x from branch NON_BLOCKING_IO_php7. See: https://github.com/websupport-sk/pecl-memcache/releases See also release on PECL: https://pecl.php.net/package/memcache Feel free to use it and post patches. Original README before 2019: memcached module for PHP ------------------------ This module requires zlib library, used for on-the-fly data (de)compression. Also, you'll need memcached to use it =) The memcached website is here: http://www.danga.com/memcached/ You will probably need libevent to install memcached: You can download it here: http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ How to run tests: 1. sh tests/memcache.sh 2. TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=/usr/local/bin/php php -dextension=modules/memcache.so run-tests.php -d extension=modules/memcache.so New API in 3.0 ------------------------ Version 3 introduces a new class "MemcachePool" which implements the new API, the old class "Memcache" is still retained (but is deprecated) with the same interface for backwards compatibility. Please note that you need a new memcached version to use the CAS, default value to increment/decrement, append and prepend, and binary protocol features. New INI directives are available to allow control over protocol, redundancy and hash strategy selection. These are	# The binary protocol results in less traffic and is more efficient	# for the client and server to generate/parse	memcache.protocol = {ascii, binary}	# default ascii	# When enabled the client sends requests to N servers in parallel, resulting in	# a somewhat crude reduncancy or mirroring, suitable when used as a session	# storage.	#	# If data integrity is of greater importance a real replicating memcached	# backend such as "repcached" (http://sourceforge.net/projects/repcached/) is	# recommended	memcache.redundancy = <int>	# default 1	memcache.session_redundancy = <int>	# default 2	# Hash strategy and function selection. The consistent hashing strategy	# is now the default as it allows servers to be added and removed from	# the pool without resulting in all or most keys being re-mapped to	# other server (ie. voiding the cache)	memcache.hash_strategy = {standard, consistent}	# default consistent	memcache.hash_function = {crc32, fnv}	# default crc32	# Compression is enabled by default, the threshold which control the minimum	# string length which triggers compresssion can be changed as	memcache.compress_threshold = <int>	# default 20000 The directives are used by the MemcachePool constructor so you can instantiate several pools with different settings by using ini_set() creativly. For example	ini_set('memcache.protocol', 'binary');	$binarypool = new MemcachePool();	$binarypool->addServer(...)	ini_set('memcache.protocol', 'ascii');	ini_set('memcache.redundancy', '2');	$redundantpool = new MemcachePool();	$redundantpool->addServer(...)	ini_set('memcache.redundancy', '1'); The new interface looks like class MemcachePool() {	bool connect(string host, int tcp_port = 11211, int udp_port = 0, bool persistent = true, int weight = 1, int timeout = 1, int retry_interval = 15)	bool addServer(string host, int tcp_port = 11211, int udp_port = 0, bool persistent = true, int weight = 1, int timeout = 1, int retry_interval = 15, bool status = true)	bool setServerParams(string host, int tcp_port = 11211, int timeout = 1, int retry_interval = 15, bool status = true)	/** * Supports fetching flags and CAS values */	mixed get(mixed key, mixed &flags = null, mixed &cas = null)	/** * Supports multi-set, for example * $memcache->set(array('key1' => 'val1', 'key2' => 'val1'), null, 0, 60) */	bool add(mixed key, mixed var = null, int flag = 0, int exptime = 0)	bool set(mixed key, mixed var = null, int flag = 0, int exptime = 0)	bool replace(mixed key, mixed var = null, int flag = 0, int exptime = 0)	/** * Compare-and-Swap, uses the CAS param from MemcachePool::get() */	bool cas(mixed key, mixed var = null, int flag = 0, int exptime = 0, int cas = 0)	/** * Prepends/appends a value to an existing one */	bool append(mixed key, mixed var = null, int flag = 0, int exptime = 0)	bool prepend(mixed key, mixed var = null, int flag = 0, int exptime = 0)	/** * Supports multi-key operations, for example * $memcache->delete(array('key1', 'key2')) */	bool delete(mixed key, int exptime = 0)	/** * Supports multi-key operations, for example * $memcache->increment(array('key1', 'key2'), 1, 0, 0) * * The new defval (default value) and exptime (expiration time) are used * if the key doesn't already exist. They must be supplied (even if 0) for * this to be enabled. * * Returns an integer with the new value if key is a string * Returns an array of integers if the key is an array */	mixed increment(mixed key, int value = 1, int defval = 0, int exptime = 0)	mixed decrement(mixed key, int value = 1, int defval = 0, int exptime = 0)	/** * Assigns a pool-specific failure callback which will be called when * a request fails. May be null in order to disable callbacks. The callback * receive arguments like * * function mycallback($host, $tcp_port, $udp_port, $error, $errnum) * * Where $host and $error are strings or null, the other params are integers. */	bool setFailureCallback(function callback)	/** * Locates the server a given would be hashed to * * Returns a string "hostname:port" on success * Returns false on failure such as invalid key */	string findServer(string key) } Maintainers: Herman J.
