Will a PECL package for PHP 5.4 work with 5.5?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20979711

Question

I'm looking to install the Amazon ElastiCache Memcached Cluster Client so I can take advantage of autodiscovery of cache nodes.

Unfortunately, it looks like they only available options are

  • Java
  • PHP 5.3 (64-bit Linux)
  • PHP 5.3 (32-bit Linux)
  • PHP 5.4 (64-bit Linux)
  • PHP 5.4 (32-bit Linux)

The version of PHP that is installed on my EC2 instance is PHP 5.5.3-1ubuntu2.1 (the default for Ubuntu).

Does anyone have any insight into whether or not the 5.4 package will work with PHP 5.5 or not? I did find one person looking for this on their forums but there doesn't seem to be a resolution there yet.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Only one way to find out, right? Well, the answer is no.

I followed the installation instructions and got this when I started up PHP:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: memcached: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20100525
PHP    compiled with module API=20121212
These options need to match
