PhpRedis

The phpredis extension provides an API for communicating with the Redis key-value store. It is released under the PHP License, version 3.01. This code has been developed and maintained by Owlient from November 2009 to March 2011.

You can send comments, patches, questions here on github, to n.favrefelix@gmail.com (@yowgi), or to michael.grunder@gmail.com (@grumi78).

Installing/Configuring

Everything you should need to install PhpRedis on your system.

Installation

phpize
./configure [--enable-redis-igbinary]
make && make install

If you would like phpredis to serialize your data using the igbinary library, run configure with --enable-redis-igbinary. make install copies redis.so to an appropriate location, but you still need to enable the module in the PHP config file. To do so, either edit your php.ini or add a redis.ini file in /etc/php5/conf.d with the following contents: extension=redis.so.

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). Check out https://github.com/ukko/phpredis-phpdoc for a PHP stub that you can use in your IDE for code completion.

Installation on OSX

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

If that still fails and you are running Zend Server CE, try this right before "make": ./configure CFLAGS="-arch i386".

Taken from Compiling phpredis on Zend Server CE/OSX .

You can install install it using Homebrew:

Get homebrew-php
brew install php55-redis (or php53-redis, php54-redis)

PHP Session handler

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)
prefix (string, defaults to "PHPREDIS_SESSION:"): used as a prefix to the Redis key in which the session is stored. The key is composed of the prefix followed by the session ID.
auth (string, empty by default): used to authenticate with the server prior to sending commands.
database (integer): selects a different database.

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 can also connect to a unix domain socket: session.save_path = "unix:///var/run/redis/redis.sock?persistent=1&weight=1&database=0.

Building on Windows

See instructions from @char101 on how to build phpredis on Windows.

Distributed Redis Array

See dedicated page.

Redis Cluster support

See dedicated page.

Running the unit tests

phpredis uses a small custom unit test suite for testing functionality of the various classes. To run tests, simply do the following:

# Run tests for Redis class (note this is the default)
php tests/TestRedis.php --class Redis

# Run tests for RedisArray class
tests/mkring.sh start
php tests/TestRedis.php --class RedisArray
tests/mkring.sh stop

# Run tests for the RedisCluster class
tests/make-cluster.sh start
php tests/TestRedis.php --class RedisCluster
tests/make-cluster.sh stop

Note that it is possible to run only tests which match a substring of the test itself by passing the additional argument '--test ' when invoking.

# Just run the 'echo' test
php tests/TestRedis.php --class Redis --test echo

Classes and methods

Class Redis

Description: Creates a Redis client

Example

$redis = new Redis();

Class RedisException

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.

Predefined constants

Description: Available Redis Constants

Redis data types, as returned by type

Redis::REDIS_STRING - String
Redis::REDIS_SET - Set
Redis::REDIS_LIST - List
Redis::REDIS_ZSET - Sorted set
Redis::REDIS_HASH - Hash
Redis::REDIS_NOT_FOUND - Not found / other

@TODO: OPT_SERIALIZER, AFTER, BEFORE,...

Connection

connect, open - Connect to a server
pconnect, popen - Connect to a server (persistent)
auth - Authenticate to the server
select - Change the selected database for the current connection
close - Close the connection
setOption - Set client option
getOption - Get client option
ping - Ping the server
echo - Echo the given string

connect, open

Description: Connects to a Redis instance.

Parameters

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) reserved: should be NULL if retry_interval is specified retry_interval: int, value in milliseconds (optional)

Return value

BOOL: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.

Example

$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.
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 1, NULL, 100); // 1 sec timeout, 100ms delay between reconnection attempts.

pconnect, popen

Description: 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.

Parameters

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 retry_interval: int, value in milliseconds (optional)

Return value

BOOL: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.

Example

$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.

auth

Description: Authenticate the connection using a password. Warning: The password is sent in plain-text over the network.

Parameters

STRING: password

Return value

BOOL: TRUE if the connection is authenticated, FALSE otherwise.

Example

$redis->auth('foobared');

select

Description: Change the selected database for the current connection.

Parameters

INTEGER: dbindex, the database number to switch to.

Return value

TRUE in case of success, FALSE in case of failure.

Example

See method for example: move

close

Description: Disconnects from the Redis instance, except when pconnect is used.

setOption

Description: Set client option.

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_IGBINARY);	// use igBinary serialize/unserialize

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_PREFIX, 'myAppName:');	// use custom prefix on all keys

/* Options for the SCAN family of commands, indicating whether to abstract
   empty results from the user.  If set to SCAN_NORETRY (the default), phpredis
   will just issue one SCAN command at a time, sometimes returning an empty
   array of results.  If set to SCAN_RETRY, phpredis will retry the scan command
   until keys come back OR Redis returns an iterator of zero
*/

(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.

##### *Return value*
`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.

##### *Example*

$ret = $redis->multi() ->set('key1', 'val1') ->get('key1') ->set('key2', 'val2') ->get('key2') ->exec();

/* $ret == array( 0 => TRUE, 1 => 'val1', 2 => TRUE, 3 => 'val2'); */


### watch, unwatch
-----
_**Description**_: 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.

##### *Parameters*
*keys*: string for one key or array for a list of keys

##### *Example*

$redis->watch('x'); // or for a list of keys: $redis->watch(array('x','another key')); /* 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. */




## Scripting

* [eval](#eval) - Evaluate a LUA script serverside
* [evalSha](#evalsha) - Evaluate a LUA script serverside, from the SHA1 hash of the script instead of the script itself
* [script](#script) - Execute the Redis SCRIPT command to perform various operations on the scripting subsystem
* [getLastError](#getlasterror) - The last error message (if any)
* [clearLastError](#clearlasterror) - Clear the last error message
* [_prefix](#_prefix) - A utility method to prefix the value with the prefix setting for phpredis
* [_unserialize](#_unserialize) - A utility method to unserialize data with whatever serializer is set up
* [_serialize](#_serialize) - A utility method to serialize data with whatever serializer is set up

### eval
-----
_**Description**_: Evaluate a LUA script serverside

##### *Parameters*
*script* string.
*args* array, optional.
*num_keys* int, optional.

##### *Return value*
Mixed.  What is returned depends on what the LUA script itself returns, which could be a scalar value (int/string), or an array.
Arrays that are returned can also contain other arrays, if that's how it was set up in your LUA script.  If there is an error
executing the LUA script, the getLastError() function can tell you the message that came back from Redis (e.g. compile error).

##### *Examples*

$redis->eval("return 1"); // Returns an integer: 1 $redis->eval("return {1,2,3}"); // Returns Array(1,2,3) $redis->del('mylist'); $redis->rpush('mylist','a'); $redis->rpush('mylist','b'); $redis->rpush('mylist','c'); // Nested response: Array(1,2,3,Array('a','b','c')); $redis->eval("return {1,2,3,redis.call('lrange','mylist',0,-1)}");


### evalSha
-----
_**Description**_: Evaluate a LUA script serverside, from the SHA1 hash of the script instead of the script itself.

In order to run this command Redis will have to have already loaded the script,
either by running it or via the SCRIPT LOAD command.

##### *Parameters*
*script_sha* string.  The sha1 encoded hash of the script you want to run.
*args* array, optional.  Arguments to pass to the LUA script.
*num_keys* int, optional.  The number of arguments that should go into the KEYS array, vs. the ARGV array when Redis spins the script

##### *Return value*
Mixed.  See EVAL

##### *Examples*

$script = 'return 1'; $sha = $redis->script('load', $script); $redis->evalSha($sha); // Returns 1


### script
-----
_**Description**_: Execute the Redis SCRIPT command to perform various operations on the scripting subsystem.

##### *Usage*

$redis->script('load', $script); $redis->script('flush'); $redis->script('kill'); $redis->script('exists', $script1, [$script2, $script3, ...]);


##### *Return value*
* SCRIPT LOAD will return the SHA1 hash of the passed script on success, and FALSE on failure.
* SCRIPT FLUSH should always return TRUE
* SCRIPT KILL will return true if a script was able to be killed and false if not
* SCRIPT EXISTS will return an array with TRUE or FALSE for each passed script

### client
-----
_**Description**_: Issue the CLIENT command with various arguments.

The Redis CLIENT command can be used in four ways.
* CLIENT LIST
* CLIENT GETNAME
* CLIENT SETNAME [name]
* CLIENT KILL [ip:port]

##### *Usage*

$redis->client('list'); // Get a list of clients $redis->client('getname'); // Get the name of the current connection $redis->client('setname', 'somename'); // Set the name of the current connection $redis->client('kill', ip:port); // Kill the process at ip:port


##### *Return value*
This will vary depending on which client command was executed.

* CLIENT LIST will return an array of arrays with client information.
* CLIENT GETNAME will return the client name or false if none has been set
* CLIENT SETNAME will return true if it can be set and false if not
* CLIENT KILL will return true if the client can be killed, and false if not

Note:  phpredis will attempt to reconnect so you can actually kill your own connection
but may not notice losing it!
### getLastError
-----
_**Description**_: The last error message (if any)

##### *Parameters*
*none*

##### *Return value*
A string with the last returned script based error message, or NULL if there is no error

##### *Examples*

$redis->eval('this-is-not-lua'); $err = $redis->getLastError(); // "ERR Error compiling script (new function): user_script:1: '=' expected near '-'"


### clearLastError
-----
_**Description**_: Clear the last error message

##### *Parameters*
*none*

##### *Return value*
*BOOL* TRUE

##### *Examples*

$redis->set('x', 'a'); $redis->incr('x'); $err = $redis->getLastError(); // "ERR value is not an integer or out of range" $redis->clearLastError(); $err = $redis->getLastError(); // NULL


### _prefix
-----
_**Description**_: A utility method to prefix the value with the prefix setting for phpredis.

##### *Parameters*
*value* string.  The value you wish to prefix

##### *Return value*
If a prefix is set up, the value now prefixed.  If there is no prefix, the value will be returned unchanged.

##### *Examples*

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_PREFIX, 'my-prefix:'); $redis->_prefix('my-value'); // Will return 'my-prefix:my-value'


### _serialize
-----
_**Description**_: A utility method to serialize values manually.

This method allows you to serialize a value with whatever serializer is configured, manually.
This can be useful for serialization/unserialization of data going in and out of EVAL commands
as phpredis can't automatically do this itself.  Note that if no serializer is set, phpredis
will change Array values to 'Array', and Objects to 'Object'.

##### *Parameters*
*value*:  Mixed.  The value to be serialized

##### *Examples*

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_NONE); $redis->_serialize("foo"); // returns "foo" $redis->_serialize(Array()); // Returns "Array" $redis->_serialize(new stdClass()); // Returns "Object"

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP); $redis->_serialize("foo"); // Returns 's:3:"foo";'


### _unserialize
-----
_**Description**_: A utility method to unserialize data with whatever serializer is set up.

If there is no serializer set, the value will be returned unchanged.  If there is a serializer set up,
and the data passed in is malformed, an exception will be thrown. This can be useful if phpredis is
serializing values, and you return something from redis in a LUA script that is serialized.

##### *Parameters*
*value* string.  The value to be unserialized

##### *Examples*

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP); $redis->_unserialize('a:3:{i:0;i:1;i:1;i:2;i:2;i:3;}'); // Will return Array(1,2,3)
