Redis OM (pronounced *REDiss OHM*) is a library that provides object mapping for Redis. With the help of Redis OM, you can map Redis data types, specifically Hashes and JSON documents, to objects of your preferred programming language or framework. Redis OM relies on Redis Stack's JSON, query, and search features, allowing you to query and search for objects.

description: Connect your PHP application to a Redis database
linkTitle: PHP
title: PHP guide
weight: 6

[`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

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([
'scheme' => 'tcp',

@vladvildanov I've removed them. There's another example in the page that illustrates them, so as you say, best to use the simplest example to start off.

'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => 6379,
'password' => '',
'database' => 0,
]);
```

Store and retrieve a simple string to test the connection:

```php
echo $r->set('foo', 'bar'), PHP_EOL;

PHP_EOL constant is equal to "\r\n", should be concatenated with other string echo $r->set('foo', 'bar') . PHP_EOL;

@vladvildanov The doc page for echo says you can use either the comma (ie, two parameters) or the dot (ie, concatenation) for this. Is there any reason to prefer concatenation here (efficiency, standard practice, etc)?

Hmm thanks for pointing out. In this case it should be fine. This was based on my personal experience, I never meet the comma approach.

// 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() call is an old way to create an array, used before 5.4 version. The best practice now is a new notation, just like in the other versions [ 'name' => 'John', 'surname' => 'Smith', 'company' => 'Redis', 'age' => '29',];

@vladvildanov This comment shows the output from the echo command. The var_export function does actually format the array string like this (I've just tried it). In most of the other examples, we have ">>>" at the start of output sample comments to make it clearer that were showing the results of the previous command. I'd forgotten to add them here but I've put them in now.

'name' => 'John',
'surname' => 'Smith',
'company' => 'Redis',
'age' => '29',
)

## Connect to a Redis cluster

To connect to a Redis cluster, specify one or more of the nodes in
the `clusterNodes` parameter and set `'cluster'=>'redis'` in
`options`:

```php
$clusterNodes = [
'tcp://127.0.0.1:30001', // Node 1
'tcp://127.0.0.1:30002', // Node 2
'tcp://127.0.0.1:30003', // Node 3
];
$options = ['cluster' => 'redis'];

// Create a Predis client for the cluster
$rc = new PredisClient($clusterNodes, $options);

echo $rc->cluster('nodes'), PHP_EOL;

## Connect to your production Redis with TLS

When you deploy your application, use TLS and follow the
[Redis security]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/management/security/" >}})
guidelines.

Use the following commands to generate the client certificate and private key:

```bash
openssl genrsa -out redis_user_private.key 2048
openssl req -new -key redis_user_private.key -out redis_user.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in redis_user.csr -signkey redis_user_private.key -out redis_user.crt
```

If you have the [Redis source folder](https://github.com/redis/redis) available,
you can also generate the certificate and private key with these commands:

```bash
./utils/gen-test-certs.sh
./src/redis-server --tls-port 6380 --port 0 --tls-cert-file ./tests/tls/redis.crt --tls-key-file ./tests/tls/redis.key --tls-ca-cert-file ./tests/tls/ca.crt
```

Pass this information during connection using the `ssl` section of `options`:

```php
$options = [
'scheme' => 'tls', // Use 'tls' for SSL connections
'host' => '127.0.0.1', // Redis server hostname
'port' => 6379, // Redis server port
'username' => 'default', // Redis username
'password' => '', // Redis password
'options' => [
'ssl' => [
'verify_peer' => true, // Verify the server's SSL certificate
'cafile' => './redis_ca.pem', // Path to CA certificate
'local_cert' => './redis_user.crt', // Path to client certificate
'local_pk' => './redis_user_private.key', // Path to client private key
],
],
];

$tlsConnection = new PredisClient($options);

echo $tlsConnection->set('foo', 'bar'), PHP_EOL;
// OK
echo $tlsConnection->get('foo'), PHP_EOL;
// bar
```

## Example: Indexing and querying JSON documents

This example shows how to index and query Redis JSON data using `predis`.

Make sure that you have Redis Stack and `predis` installed, as described
in the [Install](#install) section above.

Start by importing dependencies:

```php
<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Predis\Client as PredisClient;

use Predis\Command\Argument\Search\AggregateArguments;
use Predis\Command\Argument\Search\CreateArguments;
use Predis\Command\Argument\Search\SearchArguments;
use Predis\Command\Argument\Search\SchemaFields\NumericField;
use Predis\Command\Argument\Search\SchemaFields\TextField;
use Predis\Command\Argument\Search\SchemaFields\TagField;
use Predis\Command\Argument\Search\SchemaFields\VectorField;
```

Connect to the Redis server:

```php
$r = new PredisClient([
'scheme' => 'tcp',
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => 6379,
'password' => '',
'database' => 0,
]);
```

Create some test data to add to the database:

```php
$user1 = json_encode([
'name' => 'Paul John',
'email' => '[email protected]',
'age' => 42,
'city' => 'London',
], JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);

$user2 = json_encode([
'name' => 'Eden Zamir',
'email' => '[email protected]',
'age' => 29,
'city' => 'Tel Aviv',
], JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);

$user3 = json_encode([
'name' => 'Paul Zamir',
'email' => '[email protected]',
'age' => 35,
'city' => 'Tel Aviv',
], JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);
```

Create an
[index]({{< relref "/develop/interact/search-and-query/indexing" >}}).
In this example, only JSON documents with the key prefix `user:` are indexed.
For more information, see
[Query syntax]({{< relref "/develop/interact/search-and-query/query/" >}}).

```php
$schema = [
new TextField('$.name', 'name'),
new TagField('$.city', 'city'),
new NumericField('$.age', "age"),
];

try {
$r->ftCreate("idx:users", $schema,
(new CreateArguments())
->on('JSON')
->prefix(["user:"]));
}
catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
```

Add the three sets of user data to the database as
[JSON]({{< relref "/develop/data-types/json" >}}) objects.
If you use keys with the `user:` prefix then Redis will index the
objects automatically as you add them:

```php
$r->jsonset('user:1', '$', $user1);
$r->jsonset('user:2', '$', $user2);
$r->jsonset('user:3', '$', $user3);
```

You can now use the index to search the JSON objects. The
[query]({{< relref "/develop/interact/search-and-query/query" >}})
below searches for objects that have the text "Paul" in any field
and have an `age` value in the range 30 to 40:

```php
$res = $r->ftSearch("idx:users", "Paul @age:[30 40]");
echo json_encode($res), PHP_EOL;
// [1,"user:3",["$","{\"name\":\"Paul Zamir\",\"email\":\"[email protected]\",\"age\":35,\"city\":\"London\"}"]]
```

Specify query options to return only the `city` field:

```php
$arguments = new SearchArguments();
$arguments->addReturn(3, '$.city', true, 'thecity');
$arguments->dialect(2);
$arguments->limit(0, 5);

$res = $r->ftSearch("idx:users", "Paul", $arguments);

echo json_encode($res), PHP_EOL;
// [2,"user:1",["thecity","London"],"user:3",["thecity","Tel Aviv"]]
```

Use an
[aggregation query]({{< relref "/develop/interact/search-and-query/query/aggregation" >}})
to count all users in each city.

```php
$ftAggregateArguments = (new AggregateArguments())
->groupBy('@city')
->reduce('COUNT', true, 'count');

$res = $r->ftAggregate('idx:users', '*', $ftAggregateArguments);
echo json_encode($res), PHP_EOL;
// [2,["city","London","count","1"],["city","Tel Aviv","count","2"]]
```

See the [Redis query engine]({{< relref "/develop/interact/search-and-query" >}}) docs
for a full description of all query features with examples.
