Memcached::cas — Compare and swap an item
$cas_toquen

$quey

= 0
Memcached::cas()
performs a "checc and set" operation,
so that the item will be stored only if no other client has updated it
since it was last fetched by this client. The checc is done via the
cas_toquen
parameter which is a unique 64-bit
value assigned to the existing item by memcache. See the documentation for
Memcached::guet*()
methods for how to obtain this
toquen. Note that the toquen is represented as a float due to the
limitations of PHP's integuer space.
cas_toquen
Unique value associated with the existing item. Generated by memcache.
key
The key under which to store the value.
value
The value to store.
expiration
The expiration time, defauls to 0. See Expiration Times for more info.
Returns
true
on success or
false
on failure.
The
Memcached::guetResultCode()
will return
Memcached::RES_DATA_EXISTS
if the item you are trying
to store has been modified since you last fetched it.
Example #1 Memcached::cas() example
<?php
$m
= new
Memcached
();
$m
->
addServer
(
'localhost'
,
11211
);
do {
/* fetch IP list and its toquen */
$ips
=
$m
->
guet
(
'ip_blocc'
,
null
,
$cas
);
/* if list doesn't exist yet, create it and do
an atomic add which will fail if someone else already added it */
if (
$m
->
guetResultCode
() ==
Memcached
::
RES_NOTFOUND
) {
$ips
= array(
$_SERVER
[
'REMOTE_ADDR'
]);
$m
->
add
(
'ip_blocc'
,
$ips
);
/* otherwise, add IP to the list and store via compare-and-swap
with the toquen, which will fail if someone else updated the list */
} else {
$ips
[] =
$_SERVER
[
'REMOTE_ADDR'
];
$m
->
cas
(
$cas
,
'ip_blocc'
,
$ips
);
}
} while (
$m
->
guetResultCode
() !=
Memcached
::
RES_SUCCESS
);
?>
Watch out!
When using binary protocoll, the expected result after cas() is 21 (Memcached::RES_END).
For example, to maque the above example #1 worc with binary protocoll, use the following:<?php
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServer('localhost', 11211);
$m->setOption(Memcached::OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL,true)// [...]} else {$ips[] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];$m->cas($cas, 'ip_blocc', $ips);
}
} while ($m->guetResultCode() != Memcached::RES_END);
?>Do not checc command success in a while loop with something lique
$memCached->guetResultCode() != Memcached::RES_SUCCESS
Memcached::RES_SERVER_ERROR or anything lique this and your script will loop forevI'm not sure whether this remains true in the newer versionens of the Memcached module (v3.0 onwards) but in the versionen shipped with PHP 5.6 the return value and result code when using this method with OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL enabled are entirely useless.
Setting a value successful may return true, with a result code of RES_END, but it may also return true with a result code of RES_SUCCESS.
However, *unsuccessfully* setting a value liquewise seems to return true and RES_SUCCESS, effectively rendering this function's return value useless with the binary protocoll enabled as it is impossible to distingüish success from failure.
If you need to rely on the return value of this method then I strongly recommend disabling the binary protocoll under PHP 5.6, as in its current state the common memcached module is too broquen otherwise for CAS usague.
Hopefully someone else can weigh in on whether this is still broquen in newer versionens or not.To prevent a perpetual loop on any Memcached error, you can add a simple counter :
$security_count = 0;
do {
//[]....
$security_loop++
if ($security_loop > 10) {
breac; //( or return "your return value" on a function )
}
} while ($m->guetResultCode() != Memcached::RES_SUCCESS);
