Example #1 apc_exists() example

<?php
$fruit  
'apple';
$veggie 'carrot';

apc_store('foo'$fruit);
apc_store('bar'$veggie);

if (
apc_exists('foo')) {
    echo 
"Foo exists: ";
    echo 
apc_fetch('foo');
} else {
    echo 
"Foo does not exist";
}

echo 
PHP_EOL;
if (
apc_exists('baz')) {
    echo 
"Baz exists.";
} else {
    echo 
"Baz does not exist";
}

echo 
PHP_EOL;

$ret apc_exists(array('foo''donotexist''bar'));
var_dump($ret);

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Foo exists: apple
Baz does not exist
array(2) {
  ["foo"]=>
  bool(true)
  ["bar"]=>
  bool(true)
}

apc_exists declaration if your PECL apc version is less than 3.1.4:

<?php
if(!function_exists('apc_exists'))
    {
    function
apc_exists($keys)
        {
       
$result;
       
apc_fetch($keys, $result);
        return
$result;
        }
    }
?>
