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.
