Functions

Common Used Functions

mixed xcache_get(string name)
bool  xcache_set(string name, mixed value [, int ttl])
bool  xcache_isset(string name)
bool  xcache_unset(string name)
bool  xcache_unset_by_prefix(string prefix)
int   xcache_inc(string name [, int value [, int ttl]])
int   xcache_dec(string name [, int value [, int ttl]])

Warning : At the moment, It is not possible to store resources, callbacks or objects using xcache_* functions.

Examples:

Simple Counter

This guest book has been visited <?php echo xcache_inc("count"); ?> times.

Advanced Counter

<?php
if (!xcache_isset("count")) {
  xcache_set("count", load_count_from_mysql());
}
?>
This guest book has been visited <?php echo $count = xcache_inc("count"); ?> times.
<?php
// save every 100 hits
if (($count % 10) == 100) {
  save_count_to_mysql($count);
}
?>

Cacher

<?php
define(TMPDIR, '/tmp');

function load_abc_data()
{
  if (xcache_isset("abc_data")) {
    return xcache_get("abc_data");
  }
  // it worth a lock here to avoid useless yet harmful concurrent load from any slow backend (backend=mysql here).
  $fp = fopen(TMPDIR . "/abc_data.lock", "w");
  flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
  // check AGAIN after we get the lock
  if (xcache_isset("abc_data")) {
    fclose($fp);
    return xcache_get("abc_data");
  }
  mysql_query .... and get $data
  xcache_set("abc_data", $data, 120); // save for 2 minutes
  fclose($fp);
  return $data;
}
