Memcached::get

(PECL memcached >= 0.1.0)

Memcached::get — Retrieve an item

Description

public Memcached::get(string $key, callable $cache_cb = ?, int $$flags = ?): mixed

Memcached::get() returns the item that was previously stored under the key. If the item is found and the flags is given Memcached::GET_EXTENDED, it will also return 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.

flags

Flags to control the returned result. When Memcached::GET_EXTENDED is given, the function will also return the CAS token.

Return Values

Returns the value stored in the cache or false otherwise. If the flags is set to Memcached::GET_EXTENDED, an array containing the value and the CAS token is returned instead of only the value. The Memcached::getResultCode() will return Memcached::RES_NOTFOUND if the key does not exist.

Changelog

Version Description
PECL memcached 3.0.0 The &cas_token parameter was removed. Instead flags was added and when it is given the value of Memcached::GET_EXTENDED it will ensure the CAS token to be fetched.
