Replacing memcache.so/memcached.so?

PHP SDK
1

Before I install this, I am wondering whether couchbase.so can be installed side-by-side with memcache.so/memcached.so or if it is an API-compatible drop-in replacement for those? I am asking because I have legacy web apps that expect one of the memcache/memcached extensions. In my opinion, it would be great if couchbase.so wrapped their functions to avoid moxiing. Is this the case?

Thanks,
Claus

Hi Claus,

Unfortunately, at the moment one would have to replace their current setup with the Couchbase API.

That being said, Memcached.so and Couchbase.so are pretty much a 1 to 1 mapping, so one could fairly easily write a PHP class to wrap it.

I hope that answers your question.

Best,

Robin.
