Just finished installing libevent(1.4.8), memcached(1.4.5), pear, and libmemcached(0.40) to my lamp server (running PHP 5.2.10 & Centos 5.5 Final), and as far as I can tell, everything installed correctly (was able to address all errors during installation).
However, after finally getting everything updated and installed… upon attempting either of the following:
$test=memcache_connect('127.0.0.1', 11211); // OR
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('127.0.0.1', 11211)
I get the errors:
Fatal error: Class ‘Memcache’ not found (or) Fatal error: Call to undefined function memcache_connect()
I’m (admittedly) not very good with linux at this point, although after setting this server up completely from scratch, i’m certainly making headway in the education process 🙂 Any help would be much appreciated!
You installed the Memcached client (not the Memcache client, which is, very confusingly, also a Memcached client). Use the Memcached class instead.
In case you’re wondering what the difference between the two clients is: here’s a nice comparison table.
