(PECL memcache >= 0.2.0)

Memcache::increment -- memcache_increment — Increment item's value

Description

Memcache::increment(string $key, int $value = 1): int|false
memcache_increment(Memcache $memcache, string $key, int $value = 1): int|false

Memcache::increment() increments value of an item by the specified value. If item specified by key was not numeric and cannot be converted to a number, it will change its value to value. Memcache::increment() does not create an item if it doesn't already exist.

Note: Do not use Memcache::increment() with items that have been stored compressed because subsequent calls to Memcache::get() will fail.

Parameters

key
Key of the item to increment.
value
Increment the item by value.

Return Values

Returns new items value on success or false on failure.
