Examples

Example #1 A apcu_delete() example

<?php
$bar
= 'BAR';
apcu_store('foo', $bar);
apcu_delete('foo');
// this is obviously useless in this form

apcu_delete(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);

apcu_delete(new APCUIterator('#^myprefix_#'));
?>

Calling apcu_delete() on an unexisting cached variable name doesn't generate a NOTICE (nor WARNING), making it safe to use if unsure of the state of that variable.
