any memcached fans?

Vladimir Ghetau

Hi guys,

Have you noticed the add, set, and replace functions of the PHP
memcached extension?

I'm trying to figure out if there's any difference between set, and
(add or replace).

After few tests, I've proven myself that the set() method is enough to
add a new variable or update it.

Is there any functionality difference between add and set that I'm
missing here?

Thanks,

Vladimir

Set will overwrite any data that is in cache if its already there, and
will add a new item if its not there.
Add will only add a new item to cache where the key doesn't already
exist.
Replace will only replace an item that is existing in cache, it won't
add new items.
