1. Install PHP7 with brew

brew install php70

2. Install Memcache from source on PHP7 branch

git clone -b NON_BLOCKING_IO_php7 https://github.com/websupport-sk/pecl-memcache.git

3. Add the Memcache extension to the php.ini for PHP7

vi /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php.ini

Add extension=memcache.so under the extensions section.

getting PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/Cellar/php70/7.0.14_7/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/memcache.so' - dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/php70/7.0.14_7/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/memcache.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

Hey guys, anyone tried to install this with OS X High Sierra?

Getting the following in command "phpize":

@healdev,

You should try the homebrew php installation, then install the memcached extension

for me it was :
brew install php72-memcached

nothing more to do.

I hope it helps

@david-blanchard memcached and memcache are different

This doesn't seem to work on php7.2, plus now brew has removed/changed the way php is distributed. Additional modules now should be pulled via pecl, which in my case doesn't work at all. I'm pretty stuck 😄

Works with new brew distribution scheme. Tested with php@7.0

thank you! it worked on php 7.1

php 7.3.7
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

php 7.2
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Help plz

is there any solid steps for PHP 7.3

Why does installing this seem to break with every single php release on MacOS? I've had to update this nearly every time.

I am on macOS 11.1

If you get the following after running phpize:

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.

Then run brew install autoconf from this Stack Overflow post

I then got an error:

checking for the location of zlib... configure: error: memcache support requires ZLIB. Use --with-zlib-dir=<DIR> to specify prefix where ZLIB include and library are located

So I ran brew install zlib which at first did not fix the error.

I ran the command with the zlib path ./configure --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/opt/zlib

For those getting make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. Check that zlib was present when running ./configure. If not then the second answer here works: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29726890/pecl-install-memcache-fails-on-os-x-yosemite-with-memcache-support-requires-zli

Follow the instructions for installing zlib and run ./configure --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11 making sure you have the same version of zlib.
