Cant wait for php-memcache and a few other extensions to support PHP7 to move our projects

I was waiting and waiting for this as well, but checked homebrew during RC6 and there was a PHP70-memcached, so I took that to mean it had finally caught up?

ext/memcache is not the same thing as ext/memcached.

Yup, there are two, and they are entirely different.

One uses the historic library, the other uses the new library. Why they decided to do it this way is beyond me.

Yeah, I know there are two. I was under the impression that the original (memcache) was abandonware. How much difference is there between the two to migrate from php-memcache to php-memcached?

edit: never mind, I'm going to figure this out by using the internet!!

This symfony bundle https://github.com/LeaseWeb/LswMemcacheBundle uses specifically the php-memcache extension. Thats why we need it
