As of version 2.0.0b1 you can use Unix socket.
<?php
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServer('/path/to/socket',0);
?>
Not to be confused with Memcache that use 'unix:///path/to/socket'
(PECL memcached >= 0.1.0)
Memcached::addServer — Add a server to the server pool
Memcached::addServer() adds the specified server to the
server pool. No connection is established to the server at this time, but
if you are using consistent key distribution option (via
Memcached::DISTRIBUTION_CONSISTENT
or
Memcached::OPT_LIBKETAMA_COMPATIBLE
), some of the
internal data structures will have to be updated. Thus, if you need to add
multiple servers, it is better to use
Memcached::addServers() as the update then happens
only once.
The same server may appear multiple times in the server pool, because no
duplication checks are made. This is not advisable; instead, use the
weight
option to increase the selection weighting of
this server.
host
The hostname of the memcache server. If the hostname is invalid,
data-related operations will set
Memcached::RES_HOST_LOOKUP_FAILURE
result code. As
of version 2.0.0b1, this parameter may also specify the path of a unix
socket filepath ex. /path/to/memcached.sock
to use UNIX domain sockets, in this case port
must also be set to 0
.
port
The port on which memcache is running. Usually, this is
11211
. As of version 2.0.0b1, set this parameter to 0
when
using UNIX domain sockets.
weight
The weight of the server relative to the total weight of all the servers in the pool. This controls the probability of the server being selected for operations. This is used only with consistent distribution option and usually corresponds to the amount of memory available to memcache on that server.

Example #1 Memcached::addServer() example
<?php
$m = new Memcached();
/* Add 2 servers, so that the second one
is twice as likely to be selected. */
$m->addServer('mem1.domain.com', 11211, 33);
$m->addServer('mem2.domain.com', 11211, 67);
?>
As of version 2.0.0b1 you can use Unix socket.
<?php
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServer('/path/to/socket',0);
?>
Not to be confused with Memcache that use 'unix:///path/to/socket'
Important to not call ->addServers() every run -- only call it if no servers exist (check getServerList() ); otherwise, since addServers() does not check for dups, it will let you add the same server again and again and again, resultings in hundreds if not thousands of connections to the MC daemon. Specially when using FastCGI.
Example:
<?php
class Cache {
private $id;
private $obj;
function __construct($id){
$this->id = $id;
$this->obj = new Memcached($id);
}
public function connect($host , $port){
$servers = $this->obj->getServerList();
if(is_array($servers)) {
foreach ($servers as $server)
if($server['host'] == $host and $server['port'] == $port)
return true;
}
return $this->obj->addServer($host , $port);
}
}
?>
On my Debian Squeeze system I was getting WRITE FAILURE errors. After debugging and finally tcpdump it seems that the problem was me adding the server 'localhost', which resolved to '::1' (ipv6) while the default memcached server on debian only listens to '127.0.0.1' (ipv4). DNS automatically prefers ipv6 over ipv4.
I added the server '127.0.0.1' instead and everything worked. You could also disable ipv6 or have memcached listen on ::1
