Installation

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: » https://pecl.php.net/package/memcached.

If libmemcached is installed in a non-standard location, use --with-libmemcached-dir=DIR switch, where DIR is the libmemcached install prefix. This directory has to contain the include/libmemcached/memcached.h file.

Zlib is required for compression support. To specify non-standard installation of Zlib, use --with-zlib-dir=DIR switch, where DIR is the Zlib install prefix.

Session handler support is enabled by default. To disable it, use --disable-memcached-session switch.

SASL authentication support is disabled by default. To enable it, use --enable-memcached-sasl switch. This requires that libsasl2 has been installed and that libmemcached has been built with SASL support enabled.
