Re: Sharing cache objects between PERL and PHP

[josh rotenberg]

Your best (only?) option is to use some common format to
serialize/deserialize your session in both languages (JSON, XML, etc).
Perl and PHP both use a different method to serialize complex
structures.

 Hello,

 I'm using Cache::Memcached on the PERL side and the PECL libraries for PHP
in PHP 4.x. The data objects are session data that I would like to share
between both languages, however when I telnet straight into the memcache
daemon and do gets on the keys, it appears that the data objects are stored
in completely different formats. Do I have a setting wrong, is this a
permanent limitation, wrong library or not enough RTFM? It works fine in
either language. I'm just missing the cross-compatability. If someone could
point me toward correct answer, it would be much appreciated.

 Thanks

 ### PERL EXAMPLE

 use Cache::Memcached;
require Digest::MD5;
my $memd = new Cache::Memcached {
    'servers' => [ "127.0.0.1:11211"],
 debug => 1
  };
$memd->enable_compress(0);
$sess_id = "d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b";
$session->{'first'} = "john";
$session->{'last'} = "smith";
$session->{'session_id'} = $sess_id;

$memd->set("$sess_id", $session,60);


 ### MEMCACHE RESULT

 telnet 127.0.0.1 11211
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
get d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b
VALUE d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b 1 85
  d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b
session_id
johnfirst
smithlast
END

 ### PHP EXAMPLE

 $memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('127.0.0.1', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
$sess_id = "d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b";
$session->first = "john";
$session->last  = "smith";
$session->session_id  = "$sess_id";
$memcache->set($sess_id,$session,false,900);

 ### MEMCACHE RESULT

 get d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b
VALUE d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b 1 123
O:8:"stdClass":3:{s:5:"first";s:4:"john";s:4:"last";s:5:"smith";s:10:"session_id";s:32:"d116f2af6b07deaac588c8c34cca919b";}
