+description: Connect your PHP application to a Redis database
+linkTitle: Predis (PHP)

+---
+
+[`Predis`](https://github.com/predis/predis) is the recommended [PHP](https://php.net/)
+client for Redis. 
+The sections below explain how to install `Predis` and connect your application to a Redis database.
+
+{{< note >}}Although we provide basic documentation for `Predis`, it is a third-party
+client library and is not developed or supported directly by Redis.
+{{< /note >}}
+
+`Predis` requires a running Redis or
+[Redis Stack]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack/" >}}) server.
+See [Getting started]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/" >}}) for Redis installation
+instructions.
+
+## Install
+
+Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install the `Predis` library
+with the following command line:
+
+```bash
+composer require predis/predis
+```
+
+## Connect and test
+
+Connect to a locally-running server on the standard port (6379)
+with the following code:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+require 'vendor/autoload.php';
+
+use Predis\Client as PredisClient;
+
+$r = new PredisClient();
+```
+
+Store and retrieve a simple string to test the connection:
+
+```php
+echo $r->set('foo', 'bar'), PHP_EOL;
+// >>> OK
+
+echo $r->get('foo'), PHP_EOL;
+// >>> bar
+```
+
+Store and retrieve a [hash]({{< relref "/develop/data-types/hashes" >}})
+object:
+
+```php
+$r->hset('user-session:123', 'name', 'John');
+$r->hset('user-session:123', 'surname', 'Smith');
+$r->hset('user-session:123', 'company', 'Redis');
+$r->hset('user-session:123', 'age', 29);
+
+echo var_export($r->hgetall('user-session:123')), PHP_EOL;
+/* >>>
+array (
+  'name' => 'John',
+  'surname' => 'Smith',
+  'company' => 'Redis',
+  'age' => '29',
+)
+*/
+```
+
+## More information
+
+The [Predis wiki on Github](https://github.com/predis/predis/wiki) has
+information about the different connection options you can use.
