note 98831 added to memcache.delete

2010-07-10 "The most glaring one is the delete() function. It takes a second parameter that is documented as: "the item will expire after timeout seconds". In fact that was never a feature of memcached. It was completely misunderstood by the original extension authors. When that parameter was supported, it locked the key for timeout seconds and would not allow a new add operation on that key. Second, this feature was completely removed in memcached 1.4.0. So, if you send a timeout to the delete function, you simply get a failure. This is creating a huge support issue in the memcached community (not the PHP/PECL community) with people not being able to delete keys because of bad documentation and unsupported behavior." Apparently, the memecached API is messed up, too. http://brian.moonspot.net/php-memcached-issues ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 70.91.82.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/memcache.delete.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98831 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98831/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98831/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98831/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98831/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98831/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98831/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98831 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98831 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
