Memcache::increment — Incrementa numéricamente un valor
Memcache::increment() incrementa el valor
según el value. Si el valor con la
key no es numérico y no se puede convertir a
número, cambiará su valor a value.
Memcache::increment() no creará
el valor si no existe.
También se puede usar la función memcache_increment().Nota:
No use Memcache::increment() en un valor, que fué guardado con compresión, porque en este caso Memcache::get() no funcionará.
keyClave del valor a incrementar.
value
Incrementar el valor por value.
Devuelve el nuevo valor en caso de éxito o false en caso de error.
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de Memcache::increment()
<?php
/* procedural API */
$memcache_obj = memcache_connect('memcache_host', 11211);
/* increment counter by 2 */
$current_value = memcache_increment($memcache_obj, 'counter', 2);
/* OO API */
$memcache_obj = new Memcache;
$memcache_obj->connect('memcache_host', 11211);
/* increment counter by 3 */
$current_value = $memcache_obj->increment('counter', 3);
?>
Instead of checking the value before incrementing, you can simply ADD it instead before incrementing each time. If it's already there, your ADD is ignored, and if it's not there, it's set.
If you add($memcacheKey, 0) and then increment($memcacheKey, 1) in that order, you avoid all possible race conditions. If two threads are running this code concurrently, you will always end up with your value being 2 no matter which order the threads execute in.Please note:
If the key does not exist, memcache does NOT return false (as you might expect) but 0.
You won't get any hint that the key did not exist and still does not exist and that nothing was incremented.When the key doesn't exist it may return either bool(false) or int(0) (I get different return values on different servers), so be careful if you check for something like ($memcache->increment($key) === false).Be careful to use Memcache::decrement() and never Memcache::increment() with a negative value.
The check that prevents Memcache::decrement() from going negative is not in place with Memcache::increment(), so you can end up with a garbage integer on the order of 18 quintillion stored in place of the expected value.
