I am trying to install memcached in my mac. I have downloaded and installed it. I added it to php.ini as well. But still memcached doesnt load. I realized that the problem is with the API version mismatch of php and phpize.

This is what I get when I do php -v

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: memcached: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20090626
PHP    compiled with module API=20100525
These options need to match
 in Unknown on line 0
PHP 5.4.8 (cli) (built: Oct 30 2012 19:29:58) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies

I would really appreciate if someone would help me fix this issue. Cheers.

how are you installing PHP and memcached? Are you using a package manager? – Sequence 15/1, 2013 at 4:21

I compiled php manually. But used brew to install memcached – Tisbee 15/1, 2013 at 4:22

You will need to build the PHP extension manually. The extension you've ended up with is built against the system's copy of PHP 5.3, not your self-installed PHP 5.4.

I have tried installing manually as well. Will you be kind enough to point me towards right direction. – Tisbee 15/1, 2013 at 4:47

Make sure to run the copy of phpize that was installed with PHP 5.4, not /usr/bin/phpize. – Blas 15/1, 2013 at 4:52

when I do {which php} it shows me /usr/bin/php and {which phpize} returns /usr/bin/php. So I am assuming they are both right. isnt it? – Tisbee 15/1, 2013 at 5:0

No. Those paths both refer to the system PHP (5.3). – Blas 15/1, 2013 at 7:11

I have updated both of my php. They are 5.4.8. thats the phpize -v Configuring for: PHP Api Version: 20090626 Zend Module Api No: 20090626 Zend Extension Api No: 220090626 – Tisbee 15/1, 2013 at 10:48

PHP API 20090626 is PHP 5.3. If you're still getting that message, you've still using some of the system PHP 5.3 files. – Blas 15/1, 2013 at 18:3

How does one go about finding the phpize for the 5.4.8 or greater? – Denn 9/7, 2013 at 20:33

@MikeKormendy: Depends entirely on how you installed it, but it's no different from other versions. It may be part of a separate php-devel (or similarly named) package. – Blas 9/7, 2013 at 20:51

I beleive the phpize was improperly configured and uses an old php install that I nolonger have on the system. I think I have to recompile php and force it to use the current version .. every time I do phpize version it reports for 5.3, but it doesn't exist on the system and all I have now is 5.4.14 – Denn 9/7, 2013 at 22:19

I actually couldnt work out what the actual issue was. I ended up reinstalling the OS, installed PHP again, and installed memcached. No issues at all. So I think previously, there was a conflict with 2 versions of PHP. – Tisbee 4/11, 2013 at 1:6

Yes, you should build the extension manually by the following step

phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php/bin/php-config
make
make install

make sure you run phpize and php-config pointing to your correct php verison.

not in the /usr/bin/phpize and /usr/include/php

make sure use --with-php-config

thank you very, very much for the --with-php-config hint!! Is there any doc where we find out which arguments may be passed to ./configure? – Literally 4/3, 2016 at 22:28

@Literally ./configure --help – Caryopsis 7/12, 2021 at 11:43
