thanks alot about the library. I'm going to use memcached as main cache layer and use memcached to store session data. Have you ever use memcached to store session data? – noname.cs Jan 29 '10 at 02:54
no but i never thought of it. i dont think it would be too difficult to overload the session library to append add and delete to/from memcache before and after the queries that the session class normally uses. now that you mention this im going to tinker around at work doing this for our applications... good idea :) – Tom Schlick Jan 29 '10 at 03:34
fixed the link. sorry about that. had to change my github username a while back – Tom Schlick Apr 14 '11 at 04:29

Here is an introduction to memcached and PHP:

enhance_php_session_management

As far as using memcached from CI, I imagine you would want to either add the caching code directly into your models, or from your Controllers you would want to check the cache before querying data from a model.

public function index()
    {
        // manual connection to Mamcache
        $memcache = new Memcache;
        $memcache->connect("localhost",11211);

        $data=$memcache->get("test_key");

        if($data){
            echo 'cache data:';
            var_dump($data);
        }else{
            $data=$this->db->query("SELECT count(*) as ca FROM table WHERE typ=1 ")->row();
            $memcache->set("test_key",$data,false,10); // 10 seconds
            echo 'real data:';
            var_dump($data);
        }

    }
