Download the Predis library from the https://github.com/nrk/predis.
The Predis comes with the auto-load function which will pretty much do everything and ease your work. Include the following line at the top of your PHP file.
require 'Predis/Autoloader.php';
Predis\Autoloader::register();
These lines include and loads the file Autoloader.php inside the Predis directory which we copied in the last step. Now connect to your redis database from PHP using
$redis = new Predis\Client(array(
'scheme' => 'tcp',
'host' => '10.0.0.1',
'port' => 6379,
));
Change the Parameter depending on the IP Address and the port in which your installed Redis. If you have set a passkey to Redis Instance, you need to use below snippet. Scheme is by default tcp.
$redis = new Predis\Client(array(
'host' => '10.0.0.1',
'port' => 6379,
'password' => {PASS_KEY},
'database' => 0
));
I have introduced a new parameter, database here. This lets you connect to the database you like, by default, it connects to 0. Now that you are connected, lets look into how to execute commands from PHP in your redis server. It is easy to add, modify, delete Keys from Redis server. I have compiled and listed out few basic and commonly used redis commands and its Predis equivalence below as I did not find the information to be readily available.
