MemProxy 0.1 – Memcache Proxy Server in PHP

The inside/front of a Dell PowerEdge web server

A pretty cool project in PHP – Memproxy is a caching proxy “serverâ€? that uses memcached for storing the cache. This project uses PHP scripts to handle caching using memcache. Key features of the MemProxy are:

  • Uses memcached for storage
  • Serves cache headers to clients based on TTL of cached data
  • Uses custom headers to assemble multiple pieces of cache into one object
  • Minimal dependencies.  Only PHP and pecl/memcached needed.
  • Small code base.  It is just two files, one when settings are cached.
  • Application agnostic.  If the backend is hosted on an HTTP server this can cache it.

Requirements to install MemProxy are:
