This extension provides an API for communicating with Redis database, a persistent key-value database with built-in net interface written in ANSI-C for Posix systems.
It is a fork of alfonsojimenez's phpredis, adding many methods and fixing a lot of issues.
This code is maintained by Owlient. You can send comments, patches, questions here on github or to:
phpize ./configure make && make install
You can generate a debian package for PHP5, accessible from Apache 2 by running ./mkdeb-apache2.sh or with dpkg-buildpackage or svn-buildpackage.
This extension exports a single class, Redis (and RedisException used in case of errors).
If the install fails on OSX, type the following commands in your shell before trying again:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS CCFLAGS MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
phpredis can be used to store PHP sessions. To do this, configure session.save_handler and session.save_path in your php.ini to tell phpredis where to store the sessions:
session.save_handler = redis session.save_path = "tcp://host1:6379?weight=1, tcp://host2:6379?weight=2&timeout=2.5, tcp://host3:6379?weight=2"
session.save_path can have a simple host:port format too, but you need to provide the tcp:// scheme if you want to use the parameters. The following parameters are available:
- weight (integer): the weight of a host is used in comparison with the others in order to customize the session distribution on several hosts. If host A has twice the weight of host B, it will get twice the amount of sessions. In the example, host1 stores 20% of all the sessions (1/(1+2+2)) while host2 and host3 each store 40% (2/1+2+2). The target host is determined once and for all at the start of the session, and doesn't change. The default weight is 1.
- timeout (float): the connection timeout to a redis host, expressed in seconds. If the host is unreachable in that amount of time, the session storage will be unavailable for the client. The default timeout is very high (86400 seconds).
- persistent (integer, should be 1 or 0): defines if a persistent connection should be used. (experimental setting)
Sessions have a lifetime expressed in seconds and stored in the INI variable "session.gc_maxlifetime". You can change it with ini_set().
The session handler requires a version of Redis with the SETEX command (at least 2.0).
phpredis throws a RedisException object if it can't reach the Redis server. That can happen in case of connectivity issues, if the Redis service is down, or if the redis host is overloaded. In any other problematic case that does not involve an unreachable server (such as a key not existing, an invalid command, etc), phpredis will return FALSE.
Creates a Redis client
$redis = new Redis();
Connects to a Redis instance.
host: string. can be a host, or the path to a unix domain socket
port: int, optional
timeout: float, value in seconds (optional, default is 0 meaning unlimited)
BOOL: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1'); // port 6379 by default
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 2.5); // 2.5 sec timeout.
$redis->connect('/tmp/redis.sock'); // unix domain socket.
Connects to a Redis instance or reuse a connection already established with pconnect/popen.
The connection will not be closed on close or end of request until the php process ends.
So be patient on to many open FD's (specially on redis server side) when using persistent
connections on many servers connecting to one redis server.
Also more than one persistent connection can be made identified by either host + port + timeout or host + persistent_id or unix socket + timeout.
This feature is not available in threaded versions. pconnect and popen then working like their non
persistent equivalents.
host: string. can be a host, or the path to a unix domain socket
port: int, optional
timeout: float, value in seconds (optional, default is 0 meaning unlimited)
persistent_id: string. identity for the requested persistent connection
BOOL: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1'); // port 6379 by default - same connection like before.
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 2.5); // 2.5 sec timeout and would be another connection than the two before.
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 2.5, 'x'); // x is sent as persistent_id and would be another connection the the three before.
$redis->pconnect('/tmp/redis.sock'); // unix domain socket - would be another connection than the four before.
Disconnects from the Redis instance, except when pconnect is used.
Set client option.

BOOL: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.

STRING: +PONG on success. Throws a RedisException object on connectivity error, as described above.
Get the value related to the specified key
key
String or Bool: If key didn't exist, FALSE is returned. Otherwise, the value related to this key is returned.
$redis->get('key');
Set the string value in argument as value of the key.
Key
Value
Timeout (optional). Calling SETEX is preferred if you want a timeout.
Bool TRUE if the command is successful.
$redis->set('key', 'value');
Set the string value in argument as value of the key, with a time to live.
Key TTL Value
Bool TRUE if the command is successful.
$redis->setex('key', 3600, 'value'); // sets key → value, with 1h TTL.
Set the string value in argument as value of the key if the key doesn't already exist in the database.
key value
Bool TRUE in case of success, FALSE in case of failure.
$redis->setnx('key', 'value'); /* return TRUE */
$redis->setnx('key', 'value'); /* return FALSE */
Remove specified keys.
An array of keys, or an undefined number of parameters, each a key: key1 key2 key3 ... keyN
Long Number of keys deleted.
$redis->set('key1', 'val1');
$redis->set('key2', 'val2');
$redis->set('key3', 'val3');
$redis->set('key4', 'val4');
$redis->delete('key1', 'key2'); /* return 2 */
$redis->delete(array('key3', 'key4')); /* return 2 */
Enter and exit transactional mode.
(optional) Redis::MULTI or Redis::PIPELINE. Defaults to Redis::MULTI. A Redis::MULTI block of commands runs as a single transaction; a Redis::PIPELINE block is simply transmitted faster to the server, but without any guarantee of atomicity. discard cancels a transaction.
multi() returns the Redis instance and enters multi-mode. Once in multi-mode, all subsequent method calls return the same object until exec() is called.
$ret = $redis->multi()
->set('key1', 'val1')
->get('key1')
->set('key2', 'val2')
->get('key2')
->exec();
/*
$ret == array(
0 => TRUE,
1 => 'val1',
2 => TRUE,
3 => 'val2');
*/
Watches a key for modifications by another client. If the key is modified between WATCH and EXEC, the MULTI/EXEC transaction will fail (return FALSE). unwatch cancels all the watching of all keys by this client.
keys: a list of keys
$redis->watch('x');
/* long code here during the execution of which other clients could well modify `x` */
$ret = $redis->multi()
->incr('x')
->exec();
/*
$ret = FALSE if x has been modified between the call to WATCH and the call to EXEC.
