Class 'Redis' not found in PhpRedisConnector.php

• Laravel Version: v6.20.18
• PHP Version: 7.4.24
• OS Version: MacOS

Description:

I am new to laravel and right now I am trying to install phpredis to have my laravel supported.
I've checked that my phpredis is installed successfully and has setup in laravel in config/database.php.
client' => 'phpredis',

When I do "php -i | grep Redis", I can see my php Redis is installed.
Redis Support => enabled
Redis Version => 5.3.4
Redis Sentinel Version => 0.1

I also rename the Facade in app.php to
'ZRedis' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis::class,

However, when I do
ZRedis::connection()->ping();

It tell me "Class 'Redis' not found in file PhpRedisConnector.php"

I found out that with my
php -i | grep redis

redis
redis.arrays.algorithm => no value => no value
redis.arrays.auth => no value => no value
redis.arrays.autorehash => 0 => 0
redis.arrays.connecttimeout => 0 => 0
...

However in Apache phpinfo(), I couldn't find redis. Is there something I did wrong??
I checked, the php version and the php.ini file location are the same both apache phpinfo() and php -i.

Configuration File (php.ini) Path | /usr/local/etc/php/7.4
Loaded Configuration File | /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php.ini

From the sounds of it you may have installed Redis but not the php redis extension.

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/cache#redis

You can install the extension to PHP using
pecl install redis
or alternatively the composer package predis
composer require predis/predis.

Thanks @riotCode for your response. I think I had install php redis extension.

When I check my pecl list, redis is existed.
pecl list
Installed packages, channel pecl.php.net:

redis 5.3.4 stable

@ericyam94 It looks a lot like there is a difference in which configuration files are loaded between running a webserver Apache in this case and when you run php from the command line..

I would take a note on the loaded configuration file(s) section when running phpinfo() on the webserver and when running php -i flag on the commandline..
It might be that Redis in indeed loaded on the CLI but not in the webserver.
