CMemCache implements a cache application component based on memcached.

CMemCache can be configured with a list of memcache servers by settings its servers property. By default, CMemCache assumes there is a memcache server running on localhost at port 11211.

See CCache manual for common cache operations that are supported by CMemCache.

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 CMemCache as the cache application component, configure the application as follows,

array(
    'components'=>array(
        'cache'=>array(
            'class'=>'CMemCache',
            'servers'=>array(
                array(
                    'host'=>'server1',
                    'port'=>11211,
                    'weight'=>60,
                ),
                array(
                    'host'=>'server2',
                    'port'=>11211,
                    'weight'=>40,
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),
)

In the above, two memcache servers are used: server1 and server2. You can configure more properties of every server, including: host, port, persistent, weight, timeout, retryInterval, status. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.memcache-addserver.php for more details.

Since version 1.0.6, CMemCache can also be used with memcached. To do so, set useMemcached to be true.

Property Details

memCache property read-only

public mixed getMemCache()

the memcache instance (or memcached if useMemcached is true) used by this component.

servers property

public array getServers()
public void setServers(array $config)

list of memcache server configurations. Each element is a CMemCacheServerConfiguration.

useMemcached property (available since v1.0.6)

public boolean $useMemcached;

whether to use memcached as the underlying caching extension. Defaults to false, meaning using memcache.

Method Details

addValue() method

protected boolean addValue(string $key, string $value, integer $expire)
$key	string	the key identifying the value to be cached
$value	string	the value to be cached
$expire	integer	the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.
{return}	boolean	true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise

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.

deleteValue() method

protected boolean deleteValue(string $key)
$key	string	the key of the value to be deleted
{return}	boolean	if no error happens during deletion

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

flush() method

public void flush()

Deletes all values from cache. Be careful of performing this operation if the cache is shared by multiple applications.

getMemCache() method

public mixed getMemCache()
{return}	mixed	the memcache instance (or memcached if useMemcached is true) used by this component.

getServers() method

public array getServers()
{return}	array	list of memcache server configurations. Each element is a CMemCacheServerConfiguration.

getValue() method

protected string getValue(string $key)
$key	string	a unique key identifying the cached value
{return}	string	the value stored in cache, false if the value is not in the cache or expired.

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

getValues() method (available since v1.0.8)

protected array getValues(array $keys)
$keys	array	a list of keys identifying the cached values
{return}	array	a list of cached values indexed by the keys

Retrieves multiple values from cache with the specified keys.

init() method

public void init()

Initializes this application component. This method is required by the IApplicationComponent interface. It creates the memcache instance and adds memcache servers.

setServers() method

public void setServers(array $config)
$config	array	list of memcache server configurations. Each element must be an array with the following keys: host, port, persistent, weight, timeout, retryInterval, status.

all protected methods perplexing?

The interface to use this and other cache classes is through the CCache base class, which you get to via Yii::app()->cache, for example Yii::app()->cache->set($id, $value);

It's discussed in the documentation on the Guide's Caching section.
