On my PHP 5.6 site I have been using the Memcache extension to interface with the memcached daemon. As the extension has a matching DLL, it meant I could deploy it on my Windows dev machine as well and all was good.

This extension has been abandoned however, and there is no official support for PHP7. So I would like to move to the MemcacheD extension instead. The problem is that I can't find any windows DLL version for this. There is this post from 5 years ago on StackOverflow but nothing since that I can find.

There seem to be no official plans to build a Windows DLL, but since PHP provides instructions for how to compile one (beyond what I can do without help), I'm hoping someone else knows of a source compatible with PHP 7.2

Please find php_memcache.dll for php7.0.x, php7.1.x, php7.2.x https://github.com/nono303/PHP7-memcache-dll

  • vc14 & vc15
  • x86 & x64
  • ts & nts

You can also try: The new memcached extension doesn't work on Windows because libmemcached doesn't work on Windows. However, someone seems to have gotten the old memcache extension to install on Windows. I can't find a nice pre-compiled binary, but, after a lot of digging, I found a PHP Bug Report about this issue. Someone there seems to have found a solution:

[2016-01-20 23:11 UTC] php at alternize dot com

the branch "NON_BLOCKING_IO_php7" of the git repository https://github.com/websupport-sk/pecl-memcache.git builds fine against php 7.0.2 in win32 x86 thread-safe mode. i have not tested it with non-thread-safe and/or x64.

to build the php_memcache.dll, i followed the instructions on https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild#building_pecl_extensions using:

C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\php-7.0.2-src>buildconf
C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\php-7.0.2-src>configure --disable-all 
  --enable-cli --enable-zlib --enable-hash --enable-session 
  --without-gd --with-bz2 --enable-memcache=shared
C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\php-7.0.2-src>nmake

  • Thank you for the answer. I have seen that resource and I'm actually using it with PHP 7.2 (in development, not production), but I would like to move to MemcacheD since that is being actively maintained. What you wrote about `libmemcached` is interesting though: does it mean that `MemcacheD` on Windows just can't be done right now? – BeetleJuice Jun 04 '18 at 13:06
  • The official repo: https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached and you need libmemcached. Which is unavailable on windows. And memcached is according to his official repo: A "PHP extension for interfacing with memcached via libmemcached library". Memcache is According to his official repo: A "memcached extension" – Elias Nicolas Jun 04 '18 at 13:18
