title: Has anyone got memcached to work on Laravel Homestead php7 box?
body: <p>I loaded up Laravel/Lumen on the new Homestead php7 box and encountered this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FatalThrowableError in MemcachedConnector.php line 51:
  Fatal error: Class 'Memcached' not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Doing a <code>phpinfo();</code> shows there is no memcached extension, but <code>sudo service memcached status</code> says memcached is running. It seems there is a php7 branch for memcached here: <a href="https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/tree/php7" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/tree/php7</a></p>
  
  <p>Can anyone guide me on how to get it working in the new php7 Homestead VM?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I just saw on the <a href="http://laravel.com/docs/master/homestead" rel="nofollow">homestead install documentation</a> that it says "Memcached (PHP 5.x Only)". Question still remains on how to get it working.</p>
