PHP class Libmemcached not found

Question

I am transferring a PHP application 9running on apache) from Centos to Ubuntu. When I deploy the code on Ubuntu I get an error "Class Libmemcached not found".

When I compare phpinfo pages, I can see that the Centos one has "libmemcached" section, while the Ubuntu one has "memcached" section.

On both systems phpinfo has "memcache" (no "d" in the end) section.

It looks like my Centos PHP has "libmemcached" extension and my Ubuntu PHP doesn't. How can I download that extension? Or can I somehow just transfer the extension from my Centos system?

I found php-libmemcached repository on github ( https://github.com/kajidai/php-libmemcached ), that might be what I am looking for, but I don't know how to install it on Ubuntu.

Please help.

Is it not in the apt repositories youre currently using? (i think its `php5-memcached`)? — prodigitalson, Apr 24 '13 at 16:40
php5-memcached has memcached extension. The memcached extension doesn't have class Libmemcached that my app uses — Vladimir Makhnovsky, Apr 24 '13 at 16:56
did you see if there was `php5-libmemcached` either in your current sources or as a ppa? — prodigitalson, Apr 24 '13 at 17:04

The libmemcached extension you are using isn't an official extension. I don't know were Centos get it from.

So I recommend to use/install the official memcached extension from PECL and update your application.

Else you have to install the libmemcached extension from scratch with the following steps:

download from github
unpack the file
go into the new folder
phpize
./configure
make install
enable it within you php.ini
restart you webserver
