Example #1 apcu_cas example

<?php
apcu_store('foobar', 2);
echo '$foobar = 2', PHP_EOL;
echo '$foobar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = ', (apcu_cas('foobar', 1, 2) ? 'ok' : 'fail'), PHP_EOL;
echo '$foobar == 2 ? 1 : 2 = ', (apcu_cas('foobar', 2, 1) ? 'ok' : 'fail'), PHP_EOL;

echo '$foobar = ', apcu_fetch('foobar'), PHP_EOL;

echo '$f__bar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = ', (apcu_cas('f__bar', 1, 2) ? 'ok' : 'fail'), PHP_EOL;

apcu_store('perfection', 'xyz');
echo '$perfection == 2 ? 1 : 2 = ', (apcu_cas('perfection', 2, 1) ? 'ok' : 'epic fail'), PHP_EOL;

echo '$foobar = ', apcu_fetch('foobar'), PHP_EOL;
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

$foobar = 2
$foobar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = fail
$foobar == 2 ? 1 : 2 = ok
$foobar = 1
$f__bar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = fail
$perfection == 2 ? 1 : 2 = epic fail
$foobar = 1
