$version = $memcache->getVersion();
echo "Server's version: ".$version."<br/>\n";
$tmp_object = new stdClass;
$tmp_object->str_attr = 'test';
$tmp_object->int_attr = 123;
$memcache->set('key', $tmp_object, false, 10) or die ("Failed to save data at the server");

Installation
Cette extension » PECL n'est pas intégrée à PHP. Des informations sur l'installation de ces extensions PECL peuvent être trouvées dans le chapitre du manuel intitulé Installation des extensions PECL. D'autres informations comme les notes sur les nouvelles versions, les téléchargements, les sources des fichiers, les informations concernant les mainteneurs ainsi qu'un CHANGELOG, peuvent être trouvées ici : » http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache.
Pour utiliser ces fonctions, vous devez compiler PHP avec le support MemCache en utilisant l'option de compilation --enable-memcache[=DIR]. Vous pouvez, optionnellement, désactiver le support du gestionnaire de session memcache en spécifiant l'option de compilation --disable-memcache-session.
Les utilisateurs de Windows doivent activer la bibliothèque php_memcache.dll dans le php.ini pour pouvoir utiliser ces fonctions. La bibliothèque DLL pour cette extension PECL peut être téléchargée depuis, soit la page de » téléchargement PHP, soit depuis » http://pecl4win.php.net/

Forgot that small note: you might want to download memcached for Windows at http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/ and install it either after or before installing the extention.

Windows installation is a bit more tricky since "pecl install memcache" does NOT work properly.
Here's how I installed it:
1/ Download pecl-5.2-dev.zip (choose the version relevant to your PHP) from http://snaps.php.net/
2/ Copy php_memcache.dll from the archive you've downloaded to your PHP extention folder.
3/ Add the following line to php.ini (in the exntentions section):
extension=php_memcache.dll
4/ Restart your server
5/ Check with phpinfo() that you now have a memcache section
Good luck :)

on Fedora, apparently
yum install php-pecl-memcache
14-May-2008 06:30
for ubuntu it is actually:
apt-get install php5-memcache
03-May-2008 03:20
ubuntu:
apt-get install php5-memcached
the conf file is then in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/memcache.ini
remember to restart the webserver

Newer PHP versions don't have a --enable-memcache options; simply installing the PECL package will be enough... so to be absolutely clear, you WON'T have to recompile PHP to use memcache. That paragraph above seems like a bad case of earlier version documentation editing.
