wincache_ucache_add
Adds a variable in user cache only if variable does not already exist in the cache
Description
bool wincache_ucache_add
( string $key
, mixed $value
[, int $ttl = 0
] )
bool wincache_ucache_add
( array $values
[, mixed $unused
[, int $ttl = 0
]] )
Parameters
-
key
-
Store the variable using this key name. If a variable with same key is already present the function
will fail and return FALSE. key is case sensitive. To override the value even if
key is present use wincache_ucache_set function instad.
key can also take array of name => value pairs where names will be used as keys.
This can be used to add multiple values in the cache in one operation, thus avoiding race condition.
-
value
-
Value of a variable to store. Value supports all data types except resources, such as file handles.
This paramter is ignored if first argument is an array. A general guidance is to pass NULL
as value while using array as key. If value is an
object, or an array containing objects, then the objects will be serialized. See
__sleep() for details on serializing objects.
-
values
-
Associative array of keys and values.
-
ttl
-
Time for the variable to live in the cache in seconds. After the value specified in ttl has passed
the stored variable will be deleted from the cache. This parameter takes a default value of 0 which means
the variable will stay in the cache unless explicitly deleted by using wincache_ucache_delete
or wincache_ucache_clear functions.
Return Values
If key is string, the function returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.
If key is an array, the function returns:
-
If all the name => value pairs in the array can be set, function returns an empty array;
-
If all the name => value pairs in the array cannot be set, function returns
FALSE;
-
If some can be set while others cannot, function returns an array with name=>value pair for which the addition failed in the user cache.
Examples
Example #1 wincache_ucache_add with key as a string
<?php
$bar = 'BAR';
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add('foo', $bar));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add('foo', $bar));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_get('foo'));
?>
The above example will output:
bool(true)
bool(false)
string(3) "BAR"
Example #2 wincache_ucache_add with key as an array
<?php
$colors_array = array('green' => '5', 'Blue' => '6', 'yellow' => '7', 'cyan' => '8');
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add($colors_array));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add($colors_array));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_get('Blue'));
?>
The above example will output:
array(0) { }
array(4) {
["green"]=> int(-1)
["Blue"]=> int(-1)
["yellow"]=> int(-1)
["cyan"]=> int(-1)
}
string(1) "6"
