apc_store - Cache a variable in the data store

SYNOPSIS
       bool apc_store (string  $key, mixed  $var, [int	$ttl])

DESCRIPTION
       array apc_store (array  $values, [mixed	$unused = NULL], [int  $ttl])

	Cache a variable in the data store.

       Note

	       Unlike  many other mechanisms in PHP, variables stored using apc_store(3) will persist between requests (until the value is removed
	      from the cache).

PARAMETERS
	      o $key
		- Store the variable using this name. $keys are cache-unique, so storing a second value with the  same	$key  will  overwrite  the
		original value.

	      o $var
		- The variable to store

	      o $ttl
		- Time To Live; store $var in the cache for $ttl seconds. After the $ttl has passed, the stored variable will be expunged from the
		cache (on the next request). If no $ttl is supplied (or if the $ttl is 0), the value will persist until it  is	removed  from  the
		cache manually, or otherwise fails to exist in the cache (clear, restart, etc.).

	      o $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
       Example #1

	      A apc_store(3) example

	      <?php
	      $bar = 'BAR';
	      apc_store('foo', $bar);
	      var_dump(apc_fetch('foo'));
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      string(3) "BAR"
