php-memcached update to php70

[an0nym@…]

Could you update php-memcached to php70 since default php port is pointing to it?

[ralfbecker (Ralf Becker)]

Any news here?

I understand php-memcache is pretty old and might never support php70, but php-memcached seems to be quite close to something working:

When they release a stable version that works with php 7 I will be happy to update the port to that version.

Also waiting for php70-memcached. Is there not a stable version?

Not that I know of.

[aiqui (Charlie Hileman)]

Thank you, Ryan!

I do not know about the MacPorts compilation of PHP7, but memcached for PHP7 is now available (and apparently stable) on Linux distributions such as Amazon AMI: php70-pecl-memcached.x86_64

php-memcached v3.0.0 for PHP 7.0 and 7.1 has been released 4 days ago:

​https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/releases

Can we have that supported in ports please :)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Good to know... I'll probably wait until that version is on PECL: ​https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/issues/317

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It has appeared on PECL.

It requires a newer version of libmemcached. The libmemcached port contains a number of curiosities which should be investigated to see if they're still needed with the new version.

[aiqui (Charlie Hileman)]

Any update on this?

[ron666 (Rafael Miranda)]

CC me too!

[evanhuntley (Evan Huntley)]

Same here, let me know!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I've Cc'd you both now, but if you want to be notified of updates to tickets, it's most expedient to Cc yourself by pressing the "Cc Me!" button.

Any news here? Really needed for local testing.

[aiqui (Charlie Hileman)]

Ryan, is there any way that I can assist you in enabling php70-memcached? I am a senior developer and could join the MacPorts development team. This package is essential for local testing, and we may have to abandon MacPorts without it. Thank you!

[chrisminett (Chris Minett)]

This port currently depends on php-igbinary, but that has not been updated to support php70 / php71. I've added a ticket asking for that to be updated to a newer version: #53971

Other than that, I've got php-memcached working with php71 as a compile from source configured against the MacPorts libmemcached - this might be a good route for anyone else waiting on this ticket.

[aiqui (Charlie Hileman)]

@chrisminett where did you pull in the source for php-memcached? Would you like to provide any compile details? This sounds like a reasonable approach.

[chrisminett (Chris Minett)]

@aiqui see the GitHub URLs in comments above for the php-memcached source.

I can't remember exactly now, but it will have been something like getting a copy of the source (download or clone the version you want), then phpize, ./configure, make, and sudo make install

(usual warning: please be sure that you are confident in what you're installing before running/installing with elevated privs..!)

Superb, thanks!
