MEMCACHE.PCONNECT(3)							 1						      MEMCACHE.PCONNECT(3)

Memcache::pconnect - Open memcached server persistent connection

SYNOPSIS

       mixed Memcache::pconnect (string  $host, [int  $port], [int  $timeout])

DESCRIPTION

       Memcache.pconnect(3)  is similar to Memcache.connect(3) with the difference, that the connection it establishes is persistent. This connec-
       tion is not closed after the end of script execution and by Memcache.close(3) function. Also you can use memcache_pconnect(3) function.

PARAMETERS

	      o $host
		- Point to the host where memcached is	listening  for	connections.  This  parameter  may  also  specify  other  transports  like
		unix:///path/to/memcached.sock to use UNIX domain sockets, in this case $port must also be set to 0.

	      o $port
		- Point to the port where memcached is listening for connections. Set this parameter to 0 when using UNIX domain sockets.

	      o $timeout
		-  Value  in  seconds which will be used for connecting to the daemon. Think twice before changing the default value of 1 second -
		you can lose all the advantages of caching if your connection is too slow.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a Memcache object or FALSE on failure.
