Memcache::pconnect()

Memcache::pconnect - Open memcached server persistent connection

Syntax

bool Memcache::pconnect (string $host, int $port, int $timeout)

Arguments

  • host - Point to the host where memcached is listening for connections. This parameter may also specify other transports like unix:///path/to/memcached.sockto use UNIX domain sockets, in this case port must also be set to 0.
  • port - Point to the port where memcached is listening for connections. Set this parameter to 0when using UNIX domain sockets.
  • timeout - Value in seconds which will be used for connecting to the daemon. Think twice before changing the default value of 1 second - you can lose all the advantages of caching if your connection is too slow.
