Description:
------------
Currently, when a key is invalid, the get method/function simply returns false.  It would be nice if either an E_WARNING or E_NOTICE was thrown when a key is not a valid memcached key

Reproduce code:
---------------
$m = new Memcached();

$res = $m->addServer("localhost", 11211);

$res = $m->set("this is a key with spaces", 1);


Expected result:
----------------
E_WARNING or E_NOTICE

Actual result:
--------------
No error is thrown.

You can use getResultCode() to check the result of the operation. Currently it returns Memcached::RES_PROTOCOL_ERROR for bad keys. I can add an option Memcached::OPT_VERIFY_KEYS that would validate all keys on every operation and return Memcached::RES_BAD_KEY_PROVIDED in case one of the keys is bad.d

The memcache extension allows all strings to use as key. Is it possible to handle this same with this memcached exception ?

What is a list of rules for it ?

I don't understand what you mean by "is it possible to handle this same with this memcached exception". Can you try asking again?

On memcache it works fine to use special chars for cache ids:

$memcache->set("id &% \/\$\x00\t\n\r\\", 'data', 0, 100);
var_dump($memcache->get("id &% \/\$\x00\t\n\r\\"));

But on memcached the same code generates a Memcached::RES_BAD_KEY_PROVIDED.
It would be very nice if memcached will handle all characters as keys in the future?

"What is a list of rules for it ?"

Keys have made up of characters that satisfy C's isgraph().
