Amazon ElastiCache Cluster Client is used to connect to ElastiCache for Memcached clusters. This client supports auto-discovery capabilities which allow you to easily manage your Memcached cluster configuration. This extension uses Amazon ElastiCache fork of libmemcached library to provide API for communicating with ElastiCache servers. Our changes are based on open-source memcached extension v.2.1.0 from https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached. This code branch is compatible with PHP 7.x. Other PHP versions (including PHP 5.x) are not supported.
This client library is released under the Apache 2.0 License.

a) Launch a Linux-based EC2 instance and install PHP 7 along with its required dependencies.
b) Checkout and compile the dependency package aws-elasticache-cluster-client-libmemcached via https://github.com/awslabs/aws-elasticache-cluster-client-libmemcached
c) Run the following set of commands under the current directory:
phpize
./configure --with-libmemcached-dir=<path to libmemcached build directory> --disable-memcached-sasl
Note: If you want to enable igbinary support, checkout, compile, and install the upstream igbinary7 package https://github.com/igbinary/igbinary7, and append the option "--enable-memcached-igbinary" at the end of the "configure" command above.
make
make install
Note: you can statically link the libmemcached library into the PHP binary so it can be ported across various Linux platforms. To do that, run the following command before "make":
sed -i "s#-lmemcached#/lib/libmemcached.a -lcrypt -lpthread -lm -lstdc++ -lsasl2#" Makefile
