apcu_store
(PECL apcu >= 4.0.0)
apcu_store — Cache a variable in the data store
Description
Cache a variable in the data store.
Note: Unlike many other mechanisms in PHP, variables stored using apcu_store() will persist between requests (until the value is removed from the cache).
Parameters
-
key -
Store the variable using this name.
keys are cache-unique, so storing a second value with the samekeywill overwrite the original value. -
var -
The variable to store
-
ttl -
Time To Live; store
varin the cache forttlseconds. After thettlhas passed, the stored variable will be expunged from the cache (on the next request). If nottlis supplied (or if thettlis0), the value will persist until it is removed from the cache manually, or otherwise fails to exist in the cache (clear, restart, etc.). -
values -
Names in key, variables in value.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure.
Second syntax returns array with error keys.
Examples

<?php
$bar = 'BAR';
