PHP strange issue with memcache

I am testing out some memcache code here in PHP:

1:

$testInstance = new Memcache;
$var = @$testInstance->connect('localhost', 11211);
echo $var;
// Outputs true no matter if the memcached is running or not.

2:

$testInstance = new Memcache;
$var = @$testInstance->connect('blablabla', 11211);
echo $var;
// Outputs false

Why on earth is this occuring? I am running WinXP in my development environment and I cant see how the localhost version always returns true no matter if the memcached is running or not.

Thanks!

The issue went away when i switched to run memcached (not memcache) on a Ubuntu server instead. Really strange...

Are you sure that memcache is not running on localhost? Maybe it is alive in the background as system service? Put something in and see if you can retrieve it.
