Fatal error: Class 'Memcache' not found in

Question

For this line

$MEM = new Memcache;

I get this error "Fatal error: Class 'Memcache' not found in...". I put this in my php.ini and still no success.

extension=memcache.so

Does that mean my webhost doesn't have memcached? Do i have to download memcached and uploaded anything to the server for it to work?

I would recommend to use the chat feature next time you or will order a new shared host and ask the representative if they have memcached enable.
