PHP7.x support for Memcache/Memcached #15

Closed JJJ closed 8 years ago

JJJ commented 8 years ago

I spent an hour or so researching Memcache/Memcached support in PHP7, and it seems to be a recursive blame-game of packages, bugs, & confusion around what to install when and why.

I'm including some notes here:

php-memcache seems to be the package to install for PHP7
the Memcache PHP class doesn't seem to be readily available

Best I can tell, there is no php7.0 specific package for neither Memcache nor Memcached.

For Ubuntu, each web server needs something akin to:

sudo apt-get install php-memcache php-memcached
sudo services php7.0-fpm restart

In addition, any Memcache/Memcached configuration settings need to be moved from their old PHP5 mods-available directory to the PHP7 one.
