PhpRedis is a PHP extension written in C that provides an API for communicating with Redis key-value stores. It also supports Redis-compatible servers such as Valkey, Dragonfly, and KeyDB, including Redis Cluster.

Use cases

• connect to redis from php
• use redis as a php cache backend
• php redis client extension
• work with redis cluster in php
• store php sessions in redis
• talk to valkey or keydb from php

When to choose

• you need a fast, native C PHP extension for Redis rather than a pure-PHP client
• you use Redis Cluster, Valkey, KeyDB, or Dragonfly
• you want the de facto standard Redis client for PHP

When to avoid

• you need a pure-PHP client without the ability to compile extensions
• you use a language other than PHP
• you only need a simple cache and prefer a higher-level abstraction library
