Methods

Redis::__construct

Description

Creates a Redis client
Example

$redis = new Redis();
connect, open

Description

Connects to a Redis instance.
Parameters

host: string
port: int
Return Value

BOOL: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.
Example

$redis->connect(‘127.0.0.1’, 6379);
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
Return value

Bool TRUE if the command is successful.
Examples

$redis->set(‘key’, ‘value’)
setex

Description

Set the string value in argument as value of the key, with a time to live.
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.
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 */
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’);

$redis->delete(‘key1’, ‘key2’); /* return 2 */$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()
->incr(‘x’)
->exec();
/*
$ret = FALSE if x has been modified between the call to WATCH and the call to EXEC.
*/

…
break;

    case ‘chan-2‘:
        ...
        break;
