tok_touch¶

public instance (Boolean) tok_touch (String $token,
String $atime)

Description: This method updates the given tokens ($token) atime.

The assumption is that the token already exists in the database.

tok_touch_all¶

String $atime)

Description: This method does a mass update of the given list of tokens $tokens, if the existing token atime is < $atime.

The assumption is that the tokens already exist in the database.

We should never be touching more than N_SIGNIFICANT_TOKENS, so we can make some assumptions about how to handle the data (ie no need to batch like we do in tok_get_all)
