I appologize for the warnings in the PHP api for MemCached. They have
been taken care of. They dont affect the API other than the annoying
warnings it prints to the screen.
After correcting the warnings in PHP I tested the API with a file
roughly 400k of ascii data and it stored and retreived the data from the
MemCache with no problems using the same code provided in the email. I
don't know the format of the file in question, but it really shouldn't
make a difference.
Either way, I've sent the revised MemCachedClient.inc.php file to Brad
Fitzpatrick so it can be included in the MemCached distribution.
