[Memcachier](http://memcachier.com/) Cache Driver for [Laravel 4](http://laravel.com/)
======================================================================================

[](#memcachier-cache-driver-for-laravel-4)

This is a replacement for the builtin CacheServiceProvider with support for Memcachier a managed hosted Memcache. As it replaces Memcached you can also use this driver to support sessions.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `aheissenberger/laravel-memcachier`

```
"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.1.*",
    "aheissenberger/laravel-memcachier": "dev-master"
}

```

Next, update Composer from Terminal

```
$ composer update

```

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and replace `Illuminate\Cache\CacheServiceProvider` with:

```
'Aheissenberger\MemcachierCache\CacheServiceProvider',

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Open `app/config/cache.php` and find the `driver` key and change to `memcached`.

Replace the existing `memcached` configuration with this lines with authentification details and server:

```
	'memcached' => array(
		'username' => 'un', 'password' => 'pw', 'servers' => '1.1.1.1.1', 'weight' => 100
	),

```

If the driver cannot find `cache.memcached.username` it will try to load `cache.memcached.host']` and connects to this server. You can use this to simulate memcachier with your local memcached server. Multiple Servers are not supported!!!

```
	'memcached' => array(
		'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'port' => 11211, 'weight' => 100
	),

```

enjoy
