Instal memcached with php7

Question

How can I install memcached from php.net and work it with php7+? I tried a couple of tutorials from other sites (I do not remember now) but it does not work. Can anyone help me to do this, I am quite new with Ubuntu and web development, so anything may help me.

Solution

This is solution for you complete steps to install the memcached and php7 on Ubuntu OS:

First, You get and instal the PHP-7 and memcached:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y tmux curl wget \
    nginx \
    php7.0-fpm \
    php7.0-cli php7.0-curl php7.0-gd \
    php7.0-intl php7.0-mysql php-memcached

Then PHP7 is installed!

Seconds, If php-memcached was not installed, we can build it manually. (However, it's likely available to install via the php7.0-memcached package now).

If you need a newer version of the PHP-Memcached module, we can build it manually. Here's how:

sudo apt-get install -y php7.0-dev git pkg-config build-essential libmemcached-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libmemcached-dev libmemcached11 git build-essential

git clone https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached
cd php-memcached
git checkout php7
git pull

/usr/local/php7/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php7/bin/php-config

make
sudo make install

Then we need to setup PHP (CLI and FPM) to use the memcached module. Edit /etc/php/mods-available/memcached.ini, add:

; configuration for php memcached module
; priority=20
extension=memcached.so

Then enable it by including symlinks to that file in the FPM/CLI conf.d directories:

sudo ln -s /etc/php/mods-available/memcached.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-memcached.ini
sudo ln -s /etc/php/mods-available/memcached.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-memcached.ini

Reload php-fpm to include the new changes

sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

And there we have it, PHP7 is installed, with Memcached support!

Why tmux is required it can easily be ommited and shill have phph installed!. Also memcached has its own package as well.
