title: PHP Can't find save handler memcache
body: <p>I'm busting my brains over this issue (it should be straightforward), but can't seem to find a solution so hopefully one of you can help me.  I'm trying to store sessions using php's memcache extension. </p>
  
  <p>I'm running MAMP and have installed the extension correctly (I think...it shows up when I do phpinfo), am running the daemon and can connect to it through php, using something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$memcache = new Memcache;
  $memcache-&gt;connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I KNOW that php can communicate with the daemon. The problem is when I enable memcache session storage in php.ini and try to do a session_start() it gives me an error that it "Cannot find save handler memcache".  This is what is in my php.ini:</p>
  
  <pre><code>session.save_handler = memcache
  session.save_path = "tcp://127.0.0.1:11211"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated =(</p>
