// Takes one parameter, a array of options.  The most important key is
// options["servers"], but that can also be set later with the set_servers()
// method.  The servers must be an array of hosts, each of which is
// either a scalar of the form <10.0.0.10:11211> or an array of the
// former and an integer weight value.  (the default weight if
// unspecified is 1.)  It's recommended that weight values be kept as low
// as possible, as this module currently allocates memory for bucket
// distribution proportional to the total host weights.
// $options["debug"] turns the debugging on if set to true
MemCachedClient::MemCachedClient($options);

// sets up the list of servers and the ports to connect to
// takes an array of servers in the same format as in the constructor
MemCachedClient::set_servers($servers);

// Retrieves a key from the memcache.  Returns the value (automatically
// unserialized, if necessary) or FALSE if it fails.
// The $key can optionally be an array, with the first element being the
// hash value, if you want to avoid making this module calculate a hash
// value.  You may prefer, for example, to keep all of a given user's
// objects on the same memcache server, so you could use the user's
// unique id as the hash value.
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_GET
MemCachedClient::get($key);

// just like get(), but takes an array of keys, returns FALSE on error
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE
MemCachedClient::get_multi($keys)

// Unconditionally sets a key to a given value in the memcache.  Returns true
// if it was stored successfully.
// The $key can optionally be an arrayref, with the first element being the
// hash value, as described above.
// returns TRUE on success else FALSE
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE
// 		MC_ERR_GET_SOCK
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_WRITE
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_READ
// 		MC_ERR_SET
MemCachedClient::set($key, $value, $exptime);

// Like set(), but only stores in memcache if the key doesn't already exist.
// returns TRUE on success else FALSE
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE
// 		MC_ERR_GET_SOCK
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_WRITE
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_READ
// 		MC_ERR_SET
MemCachedClient::add($key, $value, $exptime);

// Like set(), but only stores in memcache if the key already exists.
// returns TRUE on success else FALSE
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE
// 		MC_ERR_GET_SOCK
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_WRITE
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_READ
// 		MC_ERR_SET
MemCachedClient::replace($key, $value, $exptime);

// removes the key from the MemCache
// $time is the amount of time in seconds (or Unix time) until which
// the client wishes the server to refuse "add" and "replace" commands
// with this key. For this amount of item, the item is put into a
// delete queue, which means that it won't possible to retrieve it by
// the "get" command, but "add" and "replace" command with this key
// will also fail (the "set" command will succeed, however). After the
// time passes, the item is finally deleted from server memory.
// The parameter $time is optional, and, if absent, defaults to 0
// (which means that the item will be deleted immediately and further
// storage commands with this key will succeed).
// returns TRUE on success else returns FALSE
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE
// 		MC_ERR_GET_SOCK
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_WRITE
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_READ
// 		MC_ERR_DELETE
MemCachedClient::delete($key, $time = 0);

// Sends a command to the server to atomically increment the value for
// $key by $value, or by 1 if $value is undefined.  Returns FALSE if $key
// doesn't exist on server, otherwise it returns the new value after
// incrementing.  Value should be zero or greater.  Overflow on server
// is not checked.  Be aware of values approaching 2**32.  See decr.
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE
// 		MC_ERR_GET_SOCK
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_WRITE
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_READ
// returns new value on success, else returns FALSE
// ONLY WORKS WITH NUMERIC VALUES
MemCachedClient::incr($key[, $value]);

// Like incr, but decrements.  Unlike incr, underflow is checked and new
// values are capped at 0.  If server value is 1, a decrement of 2
// returns 0, not -1.
// Possible errors set are:
// 		MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE
// 		MC_ERR_GET_SOCK
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_WRITE
// 		MC_ERR_SOCKET_READ
// returns new value on success, else returns FALSE
// ONLY WORKS WITH NUMERIC VALUES
MemCachedClient::decr($key[, $value]);

// disconnects from all servers
MemCachedClient::disconnect_all();

// if $do_debug is set to true, will print out
// debugging info, else debug is turned off
MemCachedClient::set_debug($do_debug);

// remove all cached hosts that are no longer good
MemCachedClient::forget_dead_hosts();

// When a function returns FALSE, an error code is set.
// This funtion will return the error code.
// See error_string()
// returns last error code set
MemCachedClient::error()

// Returns a string describing the error set in error()
// See error()
// returns a string describing the error code given
MemCachedClient::error_string()

// Resets the error number and error string
MemCachedClient::error_clear()

Error codes are as follows:
MC_ERR_NOT_ACTIVE		// no active servers
MC_ERR_SOCKET_WRITE		// socket_write() failed
MC_ERR_SOCKET_READ		// socket_read() failed
MC_ERR_SOCKET_CONNECT	// failed to connect to host
MC_ERR_DELETE			// delete() did not recieve DELETED command
MC_ERR_HOST_FORMAT		// sock_to_host() invalid host format
MC_ERR_HOST_DEAD		// sock_to_host() host is dead
MC_ERR_GET_SOCK			// get_sock() failed to find a valid socket
MC_ERR_SET				// _set() failed to receive the STORED response
MC_ERR_LOADITEM_HEADER	// _load_items failed to receive valid data header
MC_ERR_LOADITEM_END		// _load_items failed to receive END response
MC_ERR_LOADITEM_BYTES	// _load_items bytes read larger than bytes available
MC_ERR_GET				// failed to get value associated with key

// Turns compression on or off; 0=off, 1=on
MemCacheClient::set_compression($setting)

<?php
require("MemCachedClient.inc.php");

// set the servers, with the last one having an integer weight value of 3
$options["servers"] = array("10.0.0.15:11000","10.0.0.16:11001",array("10.0.0.17:11002", 3));
$options["debug"] = false;
