Requirements
It is very important to note when reading the information supplied by others on this page that there are two *distinct* memcache PHP implementations for the service "memcached".
1) pecl-memcache
2) pecl-memcached
This page is for the first, pecl-memcache.
If you are looking for pecl-memcached information, visit here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.memcached.php
Installation
This » PECL extension is not bundled with PHP. Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache.
Note:
It's possible to disable memcache session handler support. The 'pecl install' option prompts for this (default is enabled) however when compiling statically into PHP the --disable-memcache-session configure option may be used.

Newer PHP versions don't have a --enable-memcache options; simply installing the PECL package will be enough... so to be absolutely clear, you WON'T have to recompile PHP to use memcache. That paragraph above seems like a bad case of earlier version documentation editing.

On Slackware, after copilling it, you should copy the file /module/memcache.so to /usr/lib/httpd/modules. Then, the instruction extension=memcache.so must be added into the file /etc/httpd/php.ini
Restart the httpd and it should work!

Installing PHP5 Memcache Extension Module on Ubuntu (note: you must have memcached installed prior to installing this extension module. refer to prerequisite install below):
-------------------------
# Prerequisite Install
-------------------------
# Download & install libevent (memcached dependency)
wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.8-stable.tar.gz
tar xfz libevent-1.4.8-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.4.8-stable
./configure && make && sudo make install
# Create a symlink to libevent
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-1.4.so.2 /usr/lib
# Download & install memcached
wget http://danga.com/memcached/dist/memcached-1.2.6.tar.gz
tar xfz memcached-1.2.6.tar.gz
cd memcached-1.2.6
./configure && make && sudo make install
# Run memcached as a daemon (d = daemon, m = memory, u = user, l = IP to listen to, p = port)
memcached -d -m 1024 -u root -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211
-------------------------
# PHP5-Memcache Install
-------------------------
# Download the extension module
apt-get install php5-memcache
# Edit /etc/php5/conf.d/memcache.ini and uncomment the following line by removing the semi-colon
extension=memcache.so
# Restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
-------------------------
# Test Install
-------------------------
# Create a file 'memcache_test.php' in your webroot and paste the following:
<?php
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
$version = $memcache->getVersion();
echo "Server's version: ".$version."<br/>\n";
$tmp_object = new stdClass;
$tmp_object->str_attr = 'test';
$tmp_object->int_attr = 123;
$memcache->set('key', $tmp_object, false, 10) or die ("Failed to save data at the server");
echo "Store data in the cache (data will expire in 10 seconds)<br/>\n";
$get_result = $memcache->get('key');
echo "Data from the cache:<br/>\n";
var_dump($get_result);
?>
# Test to see if the file renders in your browser
Cheers!
