Redis client

Usage

The Redis class provides a simple and consistent way of communicating with a Redis server.

Usage

You create a Redis object by using the constructor. Use the optional name parameter if you don't want to create an object using the default Redis configuration.

// Create an object using the default configuration

$redis = new Redis();

// Create an object using the 'my_other_server' configuration

$redis = new Redis('my_other_server');

The pipeline method allows you to send multiple commands to the Redis server without having to wait for the replies. Using pipelining can be useful if you need to send a large number of commands as you will not be paying the cost of RTT for every call.

$redis->set('x', 0);

$replies = $redis->pipeline(function($redis)
{
	for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
	{
		$redis->incr('x');
	}
});

The Redis class uses the magic __call method so every valid Redis command is a valid method.

$redis = new Redis();

// Add some dummy data

$redis->rpush('drinks', 'water');
$redis->rpush('drinks', 'milk');
$redis->rpush('drinks', 'orange juice');

// Prints out a list of drinks

echo HTML::ol($redis->lrange('drinks', 0, -1));

// Delete data

$redis->del('drinks');

If the redis command contains spaces (CONFIG GET, CONFIG SET, etc...) then you'll have to separate the words using camel case or underscores.

// Use camel case to separate multi word commands

$redis->configGet('*max-*-entries*');

// You can also use underscores

$redis->config_get('*max-*-entries*');

There is also a magic shortcut that can be used to run simple commands against the default Redis connection.

Redis::set('foo', 'bar');

echo Redis::get('foo');

Redis::del('foo');
