# Memcache::connect

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

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.

timeout

  Value in seconds which will be used for connecting to the daemon. Think twice before changing the default value of 1 second - you can loose all the advantages of caching if your connection is too slow.

## Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

## Examples

Example 1. Memcache::connect() example
`<?php /* procedural API */ $memcache_obj = memcache_connect('memcache_host', 11211); /* OO API */ $memcache = new Memcache; $memcache->connect('memcache_host', 11211); ?>`
