## Class TMemCache

Description

TMemCache class

TMemCache implements a cache application module based on memcached.

TMemCache can be configured with the Host and Port properties, which specify the host and port of the memcache server to be used. By default, they take the value 'localhost' and 11211, respectively. These properties must be set before init is invoked.

The following basic cache operations are implemented:

- get : retrieve the value with a key (if any) from cache
- set : store the value with a key into cache
- add : store the value only if cache does not have this key
- delete : delete the value with the specified key from cache
- flush : delete all values from cache

Each value is associated with an expiration time. The get operation ensures that any expired value will not be returned. The expiration time can be specified by the number of seconds (maximum 60*60*24*30) or a UNIX timestamp. A expiration time 0 represents never expire.

By definition, cache does not ensure the existence of a value even if it never expires. Cache is not meant to be an persistent storage.

Also note, there is no security measure to protected data in memcache. All data in memcache can be accessed by any process running in the system.

To use this module, the memcache PHP extension must be loaded.

Some usage examples of TMemCache are as follows,

     $cache=new TMemCache;  // TMemCache may also be loaded as a Prado application module
      $cache->init(null);
     $cache->add('object',$object);
     $object2=$cache->get('object');

If loaded, TMemCache will register itself with TApplication as the cache module. It can be accessed via TApplication::getCache().

TMemCache may be configured in application configuration file as follows

     <module id="cache" class="System.Caching.TMemCache" Host="localhost" Port="11211" />

where Host and Port are configurable properties of TMemCache.

Methods
Destructor __destruct (line 93)

Destructor.

Disconnect the memcache server.

- access: public

void __destruct ()
addValue (line 193)

Stores a value identified by a key into cache if the cache does not contain this key.

This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

- return: true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise
- access: protected

boolean addValue (string $key, string $value, integer $expire)

- string $key: the key identifying the value to be cached
- string $value: the value to be cached
- integer $expire: the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.

Redefinition of:

TCache::addValue()
  Stores a value identified by a key into cache if the cache does not contain this key.

deleteValue (line 204)

Deletes a value with the specified key from cache This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

- return: if no error happens during deletion
- access: protected

boolean deleteValue (string $key)

- string $key: the key of the value to be deleted

Redefinition of:

TCache::deleteValue()
  Deletes a value with the specified key from cache This method should be implemented by child classes to delete the data from actual cache storage.

flush (line 213)

Deletes all values from cache.

Be careful of performing this operation if the cache is shared by multiple applications.

- access: public

void flush ()

Redefinition of:

TCache::flush()
  Deletes all values from cache.

getHost (line 122)

- return: host name of the memcache server
- access: public

string getHost ()
getPort (line 142)

- return: port number of the memcache server
- access: public

integer getPort ()
getValue (line 165)

Retrieves a value from cache with a specified key.

This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

- return: the value stored in cache, false if the value is not in the cache or expired.
- access: protected

string getValue (string $key)

- string $key: a unique key identifying the cached value

Redefinition of:

TCache::getValue()
  Retrieves a value from cache with a specified key.

init (line 108)

Initializes this module.

This method is required by the IModule interface. It makes sure that UniquePrefix has been set, creates a Memcache instance and connects to the memcache server.

- access: public
- throws: TConfigurationException if memcache extension is not installed or memcache sever connection fails

void init (TApplication $config, TXmlElement 1)

- TXmlElement 1: configuration for this module, can be null
- TApplication $config: Prado application, can be null

Redefinition of:

TCache::init()
  Initializes the cache module.

setHost (line 131)

- access: public
- throws: TInvalidOperationException if the module is already initialized

void setHost (string $value)

- string $value: host name of the memcache server

setPort (line 151)

- access: public
- throws: TInvalidOperationException if the module is already initialized

void setPort (integer $value)

- integer $value: port number of the memcache server

setValue (line 179)

Stores a value identified by a key in cache.

This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

- return: true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise
- access: protected

boolean setValue (string $key, string $value, integer $expire)

- string $key: the key identifying the value to be cached
- string $value: the value to be cached
- integer $expire: the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.

Redefinition of:

TCache::setValue()
  Stores a value identified by a key in cache.
