How do I determine when data in memcached is supposed to expire?

I am working on a PHP Laravel project as a tester and I am trying to test to make sure that some data in Memcached (running this locally) only expires after 30 days. But I am having trouble figuring out how to identify the expiration date/time of data in Memcached.

I tried using telnet and I am not having much luck there. I tried using a PHP-based Memcache tool. I have also tried a few clients that I found on the web but nothing seems to be working right (loading up without issues). Thoughts?

The PHP-based tool doesn't give an expiration date and I can't seem to access that information anywhere in any of the other tools. My local machine is an Ubuntu 12.10 box.

You cannot retrieve that data from memcached. If you need it, serialize it with the object you are storing.

Here is a question similar to yours with good answers.
