Note that, as per the XCache specification:
If the item's value is not numeric, it is treated as if the value were 0.
public function testIncrementWithScope() { $adapter = new XCache(array('scope' => 'primary')); xcache_set('primary:key1', 1, 60); xcache_set('key1', 1, 60); $adapter->increment('key1'); $expected = 1; $result = xcache_get('key1'); $this->assertEqual($expected, $result); $expected = 2; $result = xcache_get('primary:key1'); $this->assertEqual($expected, $result); }
