----
the example posted by conrad1986 is not a safe lock implementation. If 2 web server threads try to
set the same key in memcache, it creates a race condition, because both processes could get past the
replace() call, and then both processes would call set. The add example posted by "php at
tapirpirates dot net" on 03-Apr-2008 04:32 is safer, because memcache_add combines get and set
behavior in one atomic operation.
