Classes and methods
Usage
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.

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

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 than 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

setOption
Description: Set client option.
Parameters

Return value
BOOL: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
Example
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_NONE); // don't serialize data
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP); // use built-in serialize/unserialize
$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
*/
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SCAN, Redis::SCAN_NORETRY);
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SCAN, Redis::SCAN_RETRY);

- watch, unwatch - Watches a key for modifications by another client.
multi, exec, discard.
Description: Enter and exit transactional mode.
Parameters
(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.
*/

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');

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);

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.

Description: Clear the last error message
Parameters
none
Return value
BOOL TRUE
Examples

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)
Introspection

getPersistentID
Description: Gets the persistent ID that phpredis is using
Parameters
