note 72239 added to ref.memcache

Hi there: For run memcached in a windows box: (tested with latest php,apache and memcache in xp sp2) a) download the php_memcache.dll it can be found in the pecl file. b) put the dll in the extension folder (c:/php/extension for example). You cannot miss this folder because they are filled with php*.dll files. In some cases the extension folder used is the system32, a non-standard way to put dll but still works. c)configure the php.ini ; i put this like the latest extension extension=php_memcache.dll ; i'm not sure about this but don't hurts.. [Memcache] memcache.allow_failover = 1 memcache.max_failover_attempts=20 memcache.chunk_size =8192 memcache.default_port = 11211 d)This is important, memcached works with a EXTERNAL service. This service must be downloaded and installed prior to use the memcache. I use: http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/ e)Remember to install the service and to start the service memcached.exe -d install for install and run services.msc for start the memcached service (or restart the system). f) check the firewall ports. Finally restart the apache/iis and runs some test. At least in phpinfo must show some info about the memcache. Final notes :The "awe" about memcache is not only can help for speed some process (or reduce the cpu use), also can be used like a global session for store a whole object also this "global session" is shared among all the users, like APPLICATION used in ASP. So (for example) it's possible to do a user counter without needing of database or writing a file. ---- Server IP: 200.73.8.42 Probable Submitter: 200.112.11.88 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.memcache.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72239 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72239/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72239/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72239/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72239/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72239/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72239/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72239 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72239 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
