Memcached is an open-source, high-performance distributed memory caching system that can help improve the performance of dynamic websites and web applications. Here's how you can use Memcached:
sudo apt-get install memcached
Here's an example of how to connect to Memcached using the PHP client library:
// Connecting to Memcached server
$memcached = new Memcached();
$memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211);
set()
method and get data using the get()
method.// Setting data in Memcached
$memcached->set('key', 'value');
// Getting data from Memcached
$value = $memcached->get('key');
set()
method's third parameter.// Setting data with an expiration time of 300 seconds (5 minutes)
$memcached->set('key', 'value', 300);
delete()
method.// Deleting data from Memcached
$memcached->delete('key');
flush()
method.// Flushing the entire cache in Memcached
$memcached->flush();
That's it! Now you know how to use Memcached for caching data and improving the performance of your website or application.
