Callbacks
Result callbacks Result callbacks are invoked by Memcached::getDelayed or Memcached::getDelayedBykey methods for each item in the result set. The callback is passed the Memcached object and the array with the item information. The callback does not have to return anything. Result callback example addServer('localhost', 11211); $items = array( 'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3' ); $m->setMulti($items); $m->getDelayed(array('key1', 'key3'), true, 'result_cb'); function result_cb($memc, $item) { var_dump($item); } ?> ]]> &example.outputs.similar; string(4) "key1" ["value"]=> string(6) "value1" ["cas"]=> float(49) } array(3) { ["key"]=> string(4) "key3" ["value"]=> string(6) "value3" ["cas"]=> float(50) } ]]>
Read-through cache callbacks Read-through cache callbacks are invoked when an item cannot be retrieved from the server. The callback is passed the Memcached object, the requested key, and the by-reference value variable. The callback is responsible for setting the value and returning true or false. If the callback returns true, Memcached will store the populated value on the server and return it to the original calling function. Only Memcached::get and Memcached::getByKey support these callbacks, because the memcache protocol does not provide information on which keys were not found in the multi-key request. Read-through callback example addServer('localhost', 11211); $profile_info = $m->get('user:'.$user_id, 'user_info_cb'); function user_info_cb($memc, $key, &$value) { $user_id = substr($key, 5); /* lookup profile info in the DB */ /* ... */ $value = $profile_info; return true; } ?> ]]>
