apc_add
Cache a new variable in the data store
Description
bool apc_add
( string $key
, mixed $var
[, int $ttl = 0
] )
array apc_add
( array $values
[, mixed $unused = NULL
[, int $ttl = 0
]] )
Note:
Unlike many other mechanisms in PHP, variables stored using
apc_add will persist between requests (until the
value is removed from the cache).
Parameters
-
key
-
Store the variable using this name. keys are
cache-unique, so attempting to use apc_add to
store data with a key that already exists will not overwrite the
existing data, and will instead return FALSE. (This is the only
difference between apc_add and
apc_store.)
-
var
-
The variable to store
-
ttl
-
Time To Live; store var in the cache for
ttl seconds. After the
ttl has passed, the stored variable will be
expunged from the cache (on the next request). If no ttl
is supplied (or if the ttl is
0), the value will persist until it is removed from
the cache manually, or otherwise fails to exist in the cache (clear,
restart, etc.).
-
values
-
Names in key, variables in value.
Return Values
Returns TRUE if something has effectively been added into the cache, FALSE otherwise.
Second syntax returns array with error keys.
Examples
Example #1 A apc_add example
<?php
$bar = 'BAR';
apc_add('foo', $bar);
var_dump(apc_fetch('foo'));
echo "\n";
$bar = 'NEVER GETS SET';
apc_add('foo', $bar);
var_dump(apc_fetch('foo'));
echo "\n";
?>
The above example will output:
string(3) "BAR"
string(3) "BAR"
