note 85399 modified in memcache.installation by danbrown

Windows installation is a bit more tricky since "pecl install memcache" does NOT work properly. Here's how I installed it: 1/ Download pecl-5.2-dev.zip (choose the version relevant to your PHP) from http://snaps.php.net/ 2/ Copy php_memcache.dll from the archive you've downloaded to your PHP extention folder. 3/ Add the following line to php.ini (in the exntentions section): extension=php_memcache.dll 4/ Restart your server 5/ Check with phpinfo() that you now have a memcache section You might want to download memcached for Windows at http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/ and install it either after or before installing the extention. Good luck :) --was-- Windows installation is a bit more tricky since "pecl install memcache" does NOT work properly.
