(PECL apc >= 3.1.4)
apc_exists — Checks if APC key exists
Returns TRUE if the key exists, otherwise FALSE Or if an array was passed to keys, then an array is returned that contains all existing keys, or an empty array if none exist.
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) }
