Default one uses the [memcache extension](http://ca.php.net/manual/en/book.memcache.php), whereas this one uses the [memcached extension](http://ca.php.net/manual/en/book.memcached.php). (notice the **d**) Background ---------- [](#background) ### Benefits of Memcached over Memcache extension [](#benefits-of-memcached-over-memcache-extension) - Allow binary protocol - Increment/Decrement a compressed key - Uses igbinary for serialization (memcached has to be compiled with --enable-igbinary) Igbinary is the big win of the memcached extension. > Igbinary is a drop in replacement for the standard php serializer. Instead of time and space consuming textual representation, igbinary stores php data structures in a compact binary form. Savings are significant when using memcached or similar memory based storages for serialized data. You can expect about 50% reduction in storage requirement and speed is at least on par with the standard PHP serializer. Specific numbers depend on your data, of course. see and [some benchmark](http://phpolyk.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/igbinary-the-new-php-serializer/) For CakePHP 2.5+ ---------------- [](#for-cakephp-25) As of CakePHP 2.5, the memcached engine will be included in the core by default. No installation required. For CakePHP 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 ---------------------------- [](#for-cakephp-22-23-and-24) ### Installation [](#installation) *\[Manual\]* - Download this: - Unzip that download. - Copy the resulting folder to `app/Plugin` - Rename the folder you just copied to `Memcached` *\[GIT Submodule\]* In your app directory type: ``` git submodule add -b master git://github.com/kamisama/CakePHP-Memcached-Engine.git Plugin/kamisama/Memcached git submodule init git submodule update ``` *\[GIT Clone\]* In your `Plugin` directory type: ``` git clone -b master git://github.com/kamisama/CakePHP-Memcached-Engine.git Memcached ``` *\[Composer\]* Add *kamisama/cakephp-memcached-engine* to your composer dependencies, then run ``` composer install ``` ### Enable plugin [](#enable-plugin) You need to enable the plugin your `app/Config/bootstrap.php` file: ``` CakePlugin::load('Memcached'); ``` If you are already using `CakePlugin::loadAll();`, then this is not necessary. ### Usage [](#usage) Add this line in the head of your core.php: ``` App::uses('MemcachedEngine', 'Memcached.Lib/Cache/Engine'); ``` You can then use it in your cache configuration: ``` Cache::config('default', array('engine' => 'Memcached')); ``` For CakePHP 2.0 and 2.1 ----------------------- [](#for-cakephp-20-and-21) ### Installation [](#installation-1) Since defining cache engine in a plugin is not supported yet on these version, you have to : - [Download](https://github.com/kamisama/CakePHP-Memcached-Engine/archive/master.zip) the plugin - Copy the *MemcachedEngine.php* file located the `Lib/Cache/Engine` directory to the `Lib/Cache/Engine` directory (create it if needed) in your `app` folder. ### Enable plugin [](#enable-plugin-1) You need to enable the plugin your `app/Config/bootstrap.php` file: ``` CakePlugin::load('Memcached'); ``` If you are already using `CakePlugin::loadAll();`, then this is not necessary. ``` Cache::config('default', array('engine' => 'Memcached')); ``` ### Usage [](#usage-1) ``` Cache::config('default', array('engine' => 'Memcached')); ``` Settings -------- [](#settings) The memcached cache engine can take the following options: ``` Cache::config('router', array( # Usual options 'engine' => 'Memcached', 'prefix' => 'mc_', 'duration' => '+7 days', // Expires in 7 days, from now 'servers' => array( '127.0.0.1', // Default port 11211 '127.0.0.1:11212' // Or you can specify the port ) # Memcached options 'compress' => false, 'persistent' => false, 'login' => null, 'password => null, 'serialize' => 'php' )); ``` ### compress [](#compress) *Default: `true`* Compress the cached data. Unlike memcache, memcache**d** can increment/decrement compressed keys ### persistent [](#persistent) *Default: `false`* Use a persistent connection to the memcached server. To enable, set `persistent` to an unique string, to identify the connection. All configurations using the same persistent value will share a single underlying connection. ### login and password [](#login-and-password) *Default: `null`* The memcached server credidentials, if using SASL for authentication. Memcached need to be compiled with SASL support, else it'll throw a `CacheException`. ### serialize [](#serialize) *Default: `php`* The engine used to serialize the data. Available serializer supported by memcached: - php - json - igbinary The memcached extension is by default compiled with the php serializer. To use the other serializer, the memcached extension must be compiled with the appropriate options. Refer to [Memcached](http://php.net/manual/en/book.memcached.php) documentation. Using an invalid or not supported serializer engine will throw a `CacheException`. igbinary is the recommended serializer.
