Memcache can cache lots of things in lots of ways, not just PHP. If you want to cache via Memcache using PHP (which is what that article is about) then you need php-pecl-memcache. For example, lets say I have a big beefy MySQL serving machine with oodles of spare memory. I also have 4 webservers. I want to use a centralised memcache installation on the DB server, but I'm going to access the objects from the webservers. In this case, the DB server needs only memcached and the webservers need only php-pecl-memcache - neither is a direct dependency on the other.
