Get memcache data from php in nodejs - php

Question

I have problem with get data from memcache in nodejs.
First of all i set data in memcache with php
Php code:
$memcache = new Memcache;<br>
$memcache->connect("localhost",11211);<br>
$array = array("id"=>"1","name"=>"aaa");<br>
$memcache->set("key",$array);
After this i check if this data is set in memcache and it show:
a:2:{s:2:"id";s:1:"1";s:4:"name";s:3:"aa a";}
Everything seems to be okay. Now i want to get this data in nodejs:
Nodejs code:
var memcache = require('mem');
var client = new memcache.Client(11211,'localhost');
client.connect();
client.get('key', function(err,result){
console.log(result);
});
And here i have problem...In console i get
a:2:{s:2:"id";s:1:"1";s:4:"name";s:3:"aa a";}
And my Question is
How to get in console name : aaa ?
I only add that:
console.log(result['name']); => show : undefined
Please help

Answer 1

Try using a more portable format to share data between the systems. E.g. JSON.
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect("localhost",11211);
$data = json_encode(array("id"=>"1","name"=>"aaa"));
$memcache->set("key",$data);
I expect this to then show in memcache as
{ "id" : 1, "name": "aaa" }
Then you should be able to extract it as JSON:
var memcache = require('mem');
var client = new memcache.Client(11211,'localhost');
client.connect();
client.get('key', function(err,result){
console.log(result);
var entry = JSON.parse(result);
console.log(entry.name);
});

The PHP data looks likes it's being automatically serialized for you.
Instead of letting that happen, I would suggest you encode your array into JSON data prior to inserting into memcache, which you can easily decode with node.
So instead of
$memcache->set("key",$array);
do:
$memcache->set("key", json_encode($array));
And then in node, instead of:
client.get('key', function(err,result){
console.log(result);
});
do:
client.get('key', function(err,result){
var object = JSON.parse(result);
console.log(object);
console.log(object['name']);
});
Which will load that data into a JS object.
