Memcache::addServer
Add a memcached server to connection pool
()
bool Memcache::addServer ( string host [, int port [, bool persistent [, int weight [, int timeout [, int retry_interval [, bool status [, callback failure_callback]]]]]]] )
Memcache::addServer() adds a server to the connection pool. The connection, which was opened using Memcache::addServer() will be automatically closed at the end of script execution, you can also close it manually with Memcache::close(). You can also use the memcache_add_server() function.
When using this method (as opposed to Memcache::connect()() and Memcache::pconnect()()) the network connection is not established until actually needed. Thus there is no overhead in adding a large number of servers to the pool, even though they might not all be used.
Failover may occur at any stage in any of the methods, as long as other servers are available the request the user won't notice. Any kind of socket or Memcached server level errors (except out-of-memory) may trigger the failover. Normal client errors such as adding an existing key will not trigger a failover.
This function has been added to Memcache version 2.0.0.
Parameters
- 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 to0.- port
Point to the port where memcached is listening for connections. This parameter is optional and its default value is 11211. Set this parameter to
0when using UNIX domain sockets.- persistent
Controls the use of a persistent connection. Default to
TRUE.- weight
Number of buckets to create for this server which in turn control its probability of it being selected. The probability is relative to the total weight of all servers.
- 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.
- retry_interval
Controls how often a failed server will be retried, the default value is 15 seconds. Setting this parameter to -1 disables automatic retry. Neither this nor the persistent parameter has any effect when the extension is loaded dynamically via dl().
Each failed connection struct has its own timeout and before it has expired the struct will be skipped when selecting backends to serve a request. Once expired the connection will be successfully reconnected or marked as failed for another retry_interval seconds. The typical effect is that each web server child will retry the connection about every retry_interval seconds when serving a page.
- status
Controls if the server should be flagged as online. Setting this parameter to
FALSEand retry_interval to -1 allows a failed server to be kept in the pool so as not to affect the key distribution algoritm. Requests for this server will then failover or fail immediatly depending on the memcache.allow_failover setting. Default toTRUE, meaning the server should be considered online.- failure_callback
Allows the user to specify a callback function to run upon encountering an error. The callback is run before failover is attemped. The function takes two parameters, the hostname and port of the failed server.
Examples
Example 1308. Memcache::addServer() example
<?php
/* OO API */
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->addServer('memcache_host', 11211);
$memcache->addServer('memcache_host2', 11211);
/* procedural API */
$memcache_obj = memcache_connect('memcache_host', 11211);
memcache_add_server($memcache_obj, 'memcache_host2', 11211);
?>
