For a while the memcached community has had several PHP APIs. The first one is represented in dev-libs/memcached-api-php and a more recent (and maintained) version is a PECL version (dev-php4/pecl-memcache and dev-php5/memcache in the overlay).
The PECL version is probably the best for most users. It's far faster and has more features. This post is serving as final notice: I intend to remove dev-libs/memcached-api-php from the tree on 2006-01-01 (New Year's Day). If you can't live without this package please make your case. Points against the package: o It's www home page no longer has a download link o Going through the directory of its home page (e.g., http://www.danga.com/memcached/dist/) there's no download link and only appears in an "old" subdir with a notice: "There are several notable bugs in the PHP clients in this directory. Newer versions from many people exist all over the web. See the mailing list. (Sorry, I'm not a PHP guy...)" o The PECL version is faster, maintained, and has more features -- Regards, Lisa Seelye GPG: 09CF5 2D6B8 2B72B 997A7 601BC B46B5 561E4 96FC5 http://www.thedoh.com/~lisa/site
