Comments on Installing The PHP-MemCache Module On CentOS 5.0
Installing The PHP-MemCache Module On CentOS 5.0 MemCached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. In this howto I explain how you can very easily install it and make it avaible in PHP.

Great ! Thanks a lot ! Works fine for CentOS 4.7
yum install php-pecl-memcache -- doesn´t work for CentOS 4.7
All you need to do is
yum install php-pecl-memcache
that yum package won't work with php 5 right?
There are 2 clients in php memcached and memcache, on Centos both can be definately installed by pecl:
pecl install memcached
pecl install memcache
Don't forget on dependencies:
yum install libmemcached-devel
yum install libmemcache-devel
Packages are's in remi or rpmforge repository

Hey guys,
Actually "rpmforge" installs and outdated version of memcached (1.4.7, released ~2 years ago), I suggest using at least memcached 1.4.10, starting this release there is a big performance and scalability improvements (see developers release notes).
Using PowerStack repository you can easily run latest memcached stable version in your CentOS boxes (4, 5 and 6 releases supported, i686 + x86_64), last LAMP stack stable versions and other key packages like: nginx, HAproxy, node.js, redis, Varnish, etc.
All code + .spec files are available on GitHub, check out the wiki page for installation instructions:
