Dependencies
23+
------------
24+
25+
php-memcached 3.x releases support PHP 7.0 - 7.1, and require libmemcached 1.x or higher, and optionally support igbinary 2.0 or higher.
26+
27+
php-memcached 2.x releases support PHP 5.2 - 5.6, and require libmemcached 0.44 or higher, and optionally support igbinary 1.0 or higher.
28+
29+
[libmemcached](http://libmemcached.org/libMemcached.html) version 1.0.16 or
30+
higher is recommended for best performance and compatibility with memcached
31+
servers.
32+
33+
[igbinary](https://github.com/igbinary/igbinary) is a faster and more compact
34+
binary serializer for PHP data structures. When installing php-memcached from
35+
source code, the igbinary module must be installed first so that php-memcached
36+
can access its C header files. Load both modules in your `php.ini` at runtime
37+
to begin using igbinary.
