This article assumes that PHP has been installed in the/usr/local/php Directory, that is, when compiling PHP, use the perfix parameter to specify the directory (-- prefix =/usr/local/php)

Root @ tonyvicky: #./memcached-d-m 50-p 11211-u root

Parameter description-m specifies the MB of cache space used;-p specifies the port to be listened on;-u specifies the user to run

2. Install the memcache PHP Module

Root @ tonyvicky: # tar vxzf memcache-1.5.tgz
Root @ tonyvicky: # memcache-1.5 cd
Root @ tonyvicky: #/usr/local/php/bin/phpize
Root @ tonyvicky: #./configure -- enable-memcache -- with-php-config =/usr/local/php/bin/php-config -- with-zlib-dir
Root @ tonyvicky: # make
Root @ tonyvicky: # make install

After the installation is complete, a message like this will be prompted:

3. Test script

Write a PHP program and test it.

$ Memcache = new Memcache; // create a memcache object
$ Memcache-> connect ('localhost', 11211) or die ("cocould not connect"); // connect to the Memcached Server
$ Memcache-> set ('key', 'test'); // set a variable to the memory. The name is key and the value is test.
$ Get_value = $ memcache-> get ('key'); // retrieves the key value from the memory.
Echo $ get_value;
?>
