item, it retrieves multiple items the keys of which are specified in the

<p class="para">
Before v3.0 a second argument <code class="parameter reference">&cas_tokens</code> was in use.
It was filled with the CAS token values for the found items.
The <code class="parameter reference">&cas_tokens</code> parameter was removed in v3.0 of the extension.
It was replaced with a new flag <strong><code>Memcached::GET_EXTENDED</code></strong>
that needs is to be used as the value for <code class="parameter">flags</code>.

The <code class="parameter">flags</code> parameter can be used to specify
additional options for <span class="function"><strong>Memcached::getMulti()</strong></span>.
<strong><code>Memcached::GET_PRESERVE_ORDER</code></strong> ensures that the
keys are returned in the same order as they were requested in.
<strong><code>Memcached::GET_EXTENDED</code></strong> ensures that the
CAS tokens will be fetched too.
