Memcached::getServerByKey

Map a key to a server

Description

public array Memcached::getServerByKey ( string $server_key )

Memcached::getServerByKey returns the server that would be selected by a particular server_key in all the Memcached::*ByKey operations.

Parameters

server_key: The key identifying the server to store the value on or retrieve it from. Instead of hashing on the actual key for the item, we hash on the server key when deciding which memcached server to talk to. This allows related items to be grouped together on a single server for efficiency with multi operations.

Return Values

Returns an array containing three keys of host, port, and weight on success or FALSE on failure. Use Memcached::getResultCode if necessary.

Examples

Example #1 Memcached::getServerByKey example


<?php
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServers(array(
    array('mem1.domain.com', 11211, 40),
    array('mem2.domain.com', 11211, 40),
    array('mem3.domain.com', 11211, 20),
));

$m->setOption(Memcached::OPT_LIBKETAMA_COMPATIBLE, true);

var_dump($m->getServerByKey('user'));
var_dump($m->getServerByKey('log'));
var_dump($m->getServerByKey('ip'));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

array(3) {
  ["host"]=>
  string(15) "mem3.domain.com"
  ["port"]=>
  int(11211)
  ["weight"]=>
  int(20)
}
array(3) {
  ["host"]=>
  string(15) "mem2.domain.com"
  ["port"]=>
  int(11211)
  ["weight"]=>
  int(40)
}
array(3) {
  ["host"]=>
  string(15) "mem2.domain.com"
  ["port"]=>
  int(11211)
  ["weight"]=>
  int(40)
}
