I use PHP 5.3.0 and after hours of searching found a php_memcache.dll that is compiled for that version, now as I start php it gives me an error
The program can't start because php5.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
As I see it there is php5ts.dll in php folder, and I can't find php5.dll.
And as a result memcache does not start. How can I fix this?
Old question, but are you sure the php_memcache.dll you downloaded is a thread-safe/unsafe compatible with your PHP install?
Look in your PHP directory: if there's a "php5ts.dll" you have a thread-safe PHP, so you need a thread-safe "php_memcache.dll" too, and vice-versa.
I had the same problem, with a diferent php_.dll, and the error message about php5.dll confused the heck out of me for several hours too, but it was just a matter of downloading the right php_.dll.
php5.dll, putting it in our directory, and doing it the nts way.
download php5.dll
copy and paste to ""
Most likely your memcache_php.dll files needs php5.dll file to be able to work correctly.
I suppose it should be distributed as part of that memcache for PHP. Or you can google about php5.dll to know more about it.
