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 or to [email protected] (@yowgi).

Installing/Configuring

phpize
./configure
make && make install

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.

Install 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 .

Session handler (new)

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 Redis server prior to sending commands.

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).

Distributed Redis Array

See dedicated page.

Error handling

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.

Methods

Redis::__construct

Description

Creates a Redis client

Example
$redis = new Redis();

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)

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.

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

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.

close

Description

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

setOption

Description

Set client option.

Parameters

parameter name
parameter value

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

getOption

Description

Get client option.

Parameters

parameter name

Return value

Parameter value.

Example
$redis->getOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER);	// return Redis::SERIALIZER_NONE, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP, or Redis::SERIALIZER_IGBINARY.

Parameters

(none)

Return Value

STRING: +PONG on success. Throws a RedisException object on connectivity error, as described above.

echo

Description

Sends a string to Redis, which replies with the same string

Parameters

STRING: The message to send.

Return Value

STRING: the same message.

get

Description

Get the value related to the specified key

Parameters

key

Return Value

String or Bool: If key didn't exist, FALSE is returned. Otherwise, the value related to this key is returned.

Examples
$redis->get('key');

set

Description

Set the string value in argument as value of the key.

Parameters

Key
Value
Timeout (optional). Calling SETEX is preferred if you want a timeout.

Return value

Bool TRUE if the command is successful.

Examples
$redis->set('key', 'value');

setex, psetex

Description

Set the string value in argument as value of the key, with a time to live. PSETEX uses a TTL in milliseconds.

Parameters

Key TTL Value

Return value

Bool TRUE if the command is successful.

Examples
$redis->setex('key', 3600, 'value'); // sets key → value, with 1h TTL.
$redis->psetex('key', 100, 'value'); // sets key → value, with 0.1 sec TTL.

setnx

Description

Set the string value in argument as value of the key if the key doesn't already exist in the database.

Parameters

key value

Return value

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

Examples
$redis->setnx('key', 'value'); /* return TRUE */
$redis->setnx('key', 'value'); /* return FALSE */

del, delete

Description

Remove specified keys.

Parameters

An array of keys, or an undefined number of parameters, each a key: key1 key2 key3 ... keyN

Return value

Long Number of keys deleted.

Examples
$redis->set('key1', 'val1');
$redis->set('key2', 'val2');
$redis->set('key3', 'val3');
$redis->set('key4', 'val4');

$redis->delete(array('key3', 'key4')); /* return 2 */

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: a list of keys

Example
$redis->watch('x');
/* long code here during the execution of which other clients could well modify `x` */
$ret = $redis->multi()

/*
$ret = FALSE if x has been modified between the call to WATCH and the call to EXEC.
*/

	switch($chan) {
		case 'chan-1':
			...
			break;

		case 'chan-2':
			...

zIncrBy

Description

Increments the score of a member from a sorted set by a given amount.

Parameters

key
value: (double) value that will be added to the member's score
member

Return value

DOUBLE the new value

Examples
$redis->delete('key');
$redis->zIncrBy('key', 2.5, 'member1'); /* key or member1 didn't exist, so member1's score is to 0 before the increment */
					  /* and now has the value 2.5  */
$redis->zIncrBy('key', 1, 'member1'); /* 3.5 */

zUnion

Description

Creates an union of sorted sets given in second argument. The result of the union will be stored in the sorted set defined by the first argument. The third optionnel argument defines weights to apply to the sorted sets in input. In this case, the weights will be multiplied by the score of each element in the sorted set before applying the aggregation. The forth argument defines the AGGREGATE option which specify how the results of the union are aggregated.

Parameters

keyOutput
arrayZSetKeys
arrayWeights
aggregateFunction Either "SUM", "MIN", or "MAX": defines the behaviour to use on duplicate entries during the zUnion.

Return value

LONG The number of values in the new sorted set.

Example
$redis->delete('k1');
$redis->delete('k2');
$redis->delete('k3');
$redis->delete('ko1');
$redis->delete('ko2');
$redis->delete('ko3');

$redis->zAdd('k1', 0, 'val0');
$redis->zAdd('k1', 1, 'val1');

$redis->zAdd('k2', 2, 'val2');
$redis->zAdd('k2', 3, 'val3');

$redis->zUnion('ko1', array('k1', 'k2')); /* 4, 'ko1' => array('val0', 'val1', 'val2', 'val3') */

/* Weighted zUnion */
$redis->zUnion('ko2', array('k1', 'k2'), array(1, 1)); /* 4, 'ko1' => array('val0', 'val1', 'val2', 'val3') */
$redis->zUnion('ko3', array('k1', 'k2'), array(5, 1)); /* 4, 'ko1' => array('val0', 'val2', 'val3', 'val1') */

zInter

Description

Creates an intersection of sorted sets given in second argument. The result of the union will be stored in the sorted set defined by the first argument. The third optionnel argument defines weights to apply to the sorted sets in input. In this case, the weights will be multiplied by the score of each element in the sorted set before applying the aggregation. The forth argument defines the AGGREGATE option which specify how the results of the union are aggregated.

Parameters

keyOutput
arrayZSetKeys
arrayWeights
aggregateFunction Either "SUM", "MIN", or "MAX": defines the behaviour to use on duplicate entries during the zInter.

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

getLastError

Description

The last error message (if any) returned from a SCRIPT call

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 '-'"

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

_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->setOpt(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)

dump

Description

Dump a key out of a redis database, the value of which can later be passed into redis using the RESTORE command. The data that comes out of DUMP is a binary representation of the key as Redis stores it.

Parameters

key string

Return value

The Redis encoded value of the key, or FALSE if the key doesn't exist

Examples
$redis->set('foo', 'bar');
$val = $redis->dump('foo'); // $val will be the Redis encoded key value

restore

Description

Restore a key from the result of a DUMP operation.

Parameters

key string. The key name
ttl integer. How long the key should live (if zero, no expire will be set on the key)
value string (binary). The Redis encoded key value (from DUMP)

Examples
$redis->set('foo', 'bar');
$val = $redis->dump('foo');
$redis->restore('bar', 0, $val); // The key 'bar', will now be equal to the key 'foo'

migrate

Description

Migrates a key to a different Redis instance.

Parameters

host string. The destination host
port integer. The TCP port to connect to.
key string. The key to migrate.
destination-db integer. The target DB.
timeout integer. The maximum amount of time given to this transfer.

Examples
$redis->migrate('backup', 6379, 'foo', 0, 3600);

time

Description

Return the current Redis server time.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

If successfull, the time will come back as an associative array with element zero being the unix timestamp, and element one being microseconds.

Examples
$redis->time();
