PHP: Replace value of the existing item

Description

bool Memcache::replace ( string $key , mixed $var [, int $flag [, int $expire ]] )

Memcache::replace() should be used to replace value of existing item with key . In case if item with such key doesn't exists, Memcache::replace() returns FALSE. For the rest Memcache::replace() behaves similarly to Memcache::set(). Also you can use memcache_replace() function.

var: The variable to store. Strings and integers are stored as is, other types are stored serialized.
flag: Use MEMCACHE_COMPRESSED to store the item compressed (uses zlib).
