Question

I am using the memcached php extension, when you run addServer the documentation says no connection is established to the server, so if a memcached server goes down it would still get added.

How can I check that the server is available? Using memcached and not memcache extension so I can’t use getServerStatus.

Answer 1

You can use getStats to check the stats of your servers:

<?php
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServer('localhost', 11211);

print_r($m->getStats());
?>
