Memcached::decrement — Decrement numeric item's value
Description
public int Memcached::decrement
( string
$key

] )
Memcached::decrement() decrements a numeric item's value
by the specified offset. If the item's value is not
numeric, it is treated as if the value were 0. If the operation would
decrease the value below 0, the new value will be 0.
Memcached::decrement() will fail if the item does not
exist.
Parameters
