Does memcached.dll exist?

Question

Does the memcached (not memcache) extension exist for Windows? I have looked through old answers and haven\'t found anything.

Answer 1

You can get the php extension "memcache" to use memcached with php on windows here http://downloads.php.net/pierre/

Memcached is the server daemon and you can get it for windows here http://splinedancer.com/memcached-win32/

The php extension also called memcached requires libmemcached which doesn't seem well supported on windows which is probably why that extension doesn't exist for windows.

Answer 2

It does not exist and is very unlikely to exist any time soon. The main problem is not the extension itself but the libmemcached library. This library is barely portable to anything but a linux system, so windows support won't happen anytime soon (using Visual C).
