ProDevTips.com: Memcached in PHP on Dapper
New on the ProDevTips.com blog there’s an article talking about the use of memcached on Dapper to increase the overall performance of the site.
Memcached is a very simple thing at heart; a daemon that runs in the background and that can be called from your code to store a value with the help of a key, and then retrieve said value with the help of the key used to store it; and it all happens in the RAM.
He talks briefly about the installation of the memcached server (on Ubuntu, in his case) via the source including a little trick he needed to do to get it to work correctly with the ld.so.conf file. He also includes the code for a simple class to implement it in your application.
