Thanks for your helpI have only one more question :) If I have the code below: memcached_create() If $mc->add('lock') == true then ... do something ... $mc->remove('lock') End if memcached_free() // this closes the connection to the serverand, unfortunately, my program exits abnormally when it is 'doing something'. In this scenario, the key 'lock' will stay in the memcached until it gets expired. Is there a way to circumvent this ? e.g.: by removing the key 'lock' when the connection to the server is lost ? I mean, until you implement more formal locks in memcached ... :)
Nope. That's why you should set the 'lock' key to expire 10-60-100 seconds later. Long enough that it's not possible for the original process to still be processing after setting the lock. Ghetto locks :)
