Installing/Configuring
Forgot that small note: you might want to download memcached for Windows at http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/ and install it either after or before installing the extention.
Installation
This » PECL extension is not bundled with PHP. Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache.
In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with Memcache support by using the --enable-memcache[=DIR] option. You may optionally disable memcache session handler support by specifying --disable-memcache-session.
Windows users will enable php_memcache.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. The DLL for this PECL extension may be downloaded from either the » PHP Downloads page or from » http://pecl4win.php.net/

Windows installation is a bit more tricky since "pecl install memcache" does NOT work properly.
Here's how I installed it:
1/ Download pecl-5.2-dev.zip (choose the version relevant to your PHP) from http://snaps.php.net/
2/ Copy php_memcache.dll from the archive you've downloaded to your PHP extention folder.
3/ Add the following line to php.ini (in the exntentions section):
extension=php_memcache.dll
4/ Restart your server
5/ Check with phpinfo() that you now have a memcache section
Good luck :)

ubuntu:
apt-get install php5-memcached
the conf file is then in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/memcache.ini
remember to restart the webserver

Newer PHP versions don't have a --enable-memcache options; simply installing the PECL package will be enough... so to be absolutely clear, you WON'T have to recompile PHP to use memcache. That paragraph above seems like a bad case of earlier version documentation editing.
