[FIXED] How to enable the memcached PHP extension after installing with homebrew?

Issue

I recently installed memcached with homebrew, I'm not entirely sure how to enable it on my PHP envirionment since I added extension=memcached.so in /etc/php.ini in Lion OS X.

Even I restarted apache too, nothing is still loaded.

If I call get_loaded_extensions(), I do not see memcached in the list, how can I enable it when installed from homebrew?

EDIT:

What I did in Terminal was:

$ brew install memcached

It installed just fine, now I went to /etc/php.ini and appended:

extension=memcached.so

Solution

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/memcached.so'

That's the information PHP is giving you, stick to it.

It's either:

• The file you have specified does not exists. Check your file-system.
• The file you've specified can not be read by PHP, check the rights of the file.
• The file you've specified is incompatible with your PHP binary. Check if you have compiled the right sources and compilation went well.
