I just fail to understand why couchbase does not provide a php extension for use on “windows” & IIS 7. Is there some efficient other ways of connecting & working with couchbase using php on windows?

The Couchbase client SDKs are quite important because they are “cluster aware”.
The SDKs, including the PHP one will automatically use all the nodes of the cluster using vBuckets and they will be notified when the topology changes (add new nodes, failover, …)
Also if you are using Couchbase 2.0 the SDK provides you API to call the views and do more advanced queries on documents.
So the best practice is to use the PHP SDK, that use internally the memcached protocol.
I am inviting you to read:

– http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.0/couchbase-introduction-architecture-vbuckets.html vBuckets used to manage the auto-sharding.
