Here is a memcache stats analyzer method that can be used to print memcache stats in a nice informative tabular format.

<?php

function printDetails($status){

echo
"<table border='1'>";

echo
"<tr><td>Memcache Server version:</td><td> ".$status ["version"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Process id of this server process </td><td>".$status ["pid"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Number of seconds this server has been running </td><td>".$status ["uptime"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Accumulated user time for this process </td><td>".$status ["rusage_user"]." seconds</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Accumulated system time for this process </td><td>".$status ["rusage_system"]." seconds</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Total number of items stored by this server ever since it started </td><td>".$status ["total_items"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Number of open connections </td><td>".$status ["curr_connections"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Total number of connections opened since the server started running </td><td>".$status ["total_connections"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Number of connection structures allocated by the server </td><td>".$status ["connection_structures"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Cumulative number of retrieval requests </td><td>".$status ["cmd_get"]."</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td> Cumulative number of storage requests </td><td>".$status ["cmd_set"]."</td></tr>";

$percCacheHit=((real)$status ["get_hits"]/ (real)$status ["cmd_get"] *100);
$percCacheHit=round($percCacheHit,3);
$percCacheMiss=100-$percCacheHit;

echo
"<tr><td>Number of keys that have been requested and found present </td><td>".$status ["get_hits"]." ($percCacheHit%)</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Number of items that have been requested and not found </td><td>".$status ["get_misses"]."($percCacheMiss%)</td></tr>";

$MBRead= (real)$status["bytes_read"]/(1024*1024);

echo
"<tr><td>Total number of bytes read by this server from network </td><td>".$MBRead." Mega Bytes</td></tr>";
$MBWrite=(real) $status["bytes_written"]/(1024*1024) ;
echo
"<tr><td>Total number of bytes sent by this server to network </td><td>".$MBWrite." Mega Bytes</td></tr>";
$MBSize=(real) $status["limit_maxbytes"]/(1024*1024) ;
echo
"<tr><td>Number of bytes this server is allowed to use for storage.</td><td>".$MBSize." Mega Bytes</td></tr>";
echo
"<tr><td>Number of valid items removed from cache to free memory for new items.</td><td>".$status ["evictions"]."</td></tr>";

echo
"</table>";

}

?>

Sample usage:
<?php

$memcache_obj
= new Memcache;
$memcache_obj->addServer('memcache_host', 11211);
printDetails($memcache_obj->getStats());
?>

The stats output from this function and what is output from the getExtendedStats() are identical except that getExtendedStats() provides information for all servers used.
