Memcache::connect -- Open memcached server connection

Description

bool Memcache::connect ( string host [, int port [, int timeout]] )

Memcache::connect() establishes a connection to the memcached server. The connection, which was opened using Memcache::connect() will be automatically closed at the end of script execution. Also you can close it with Memcache::close(). Also you can use memcache_connect() function.

Parameters

host

Point to the host where memcached is listening for connections.

port

Point to the port where memcached is listening for connections.
