<?php
echo "Let's do something with success", PHP_EOL;
apcu_store('anumber', 42);
echo apcu_fetch('anumber'), PHP_EOL;
echo apcu_dec('anumber'), PHP_EOL;
echo apcu_dec('anumber', 10), PHP_EOL;
echo apcu_dec('anumber', 10, $success), PHP_EOL;
var_dump($success);
echo "Now, let's fail", PHP_EOL, PHP_EOL;
apcu_store('astring', 'foo');
$ret = apcu_dec('astring', 1, $fail);
var_dump($ret);
var_dump($fail);
?>
