⚠️ DEPRECATED — No Longer Maintained

This package was a thin convenience wrapper around the PHP ext-redis extension, adding prefix handling and automatic serialize() of values. As part of the InitPHP package consolidation, it has been retired:

• PHP 8+ ships ext-redis with fully typed methods, so a wrapper adds little over the native API.
• The automatic serialize() adds non-trivial CPU + network overhead and is rarely what callers want today.
• No package in the InitPHP ecosystem currently depends on this one. (initphp/cache and initphp/sessions both talk to \Redis directly.)

This repository is kept read-only for historical reference. No further updates will be released.

What to use instead

Pick the closest match to what you were doing:

Caching key/value data — use initphp/cache with its bundled Redis handler:

use InitPHP\Cache\Handler\Redis as RedisCache;

$cache = new RedisCache([
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 6379,
]);
$cache->set('name', 'muhammet');

Storing session data — use initphp/sessions with its RedisAdapter. See the Sessions README for the Redis usage example.

Anything else (Pub/Sub, Lua scripts, Cluster, pipelining, low-level Redis commands) — call \Redis directly. It is the canonical, fully-typed entry point and supports the full Redis feature surface:

$redis = new \Redis();
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$redis->set('name', 'muhammet');
$value = $redis->get('name');

Composer will surface this package as abandoned on composer require, composer update, and composer outdated.

This library was born to facilitate and customize the use of getter and setter of PHP and Redis.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or later
• PHP Redis Extension

Installation

composer require initphp/redis

Usage

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
use \InitPHP\Redis\Redis;

// Provide your connection information;
$redis = new Redis([
        'prefix'        => 'i_',
        'host'          => '127.0.0.1',
        'password'      => null,
        'port'          => 6379,
        'timeout'       => 0,
        'database'      => 0,
]);

// Use Setter and Getter;
$redis->set('name', 'muhammet');
if($redis->has('name')){
    echo $redis->get('name'); // "muhammet"
}

/**
 * or tell the get method what it will 
 * do if it can't find it, 
 * or a default value it will return;
 */
echo $redis->get('username', 'Undefined'); // "Undefined"

echo $redis->get('surname', function () use ($redis) {
    $value = 'ŞAFAK';
    $redis->set('surname', $value);
    return $value;
}); // "ŞAFAK"
