How to install PHP Redis client

The PHP Redis client will be phpredis

At first, we have to be sure that php5.6-dev is installed.

1	sudo apt-get install php5.6-dev

Then install package

1	sudo pecl install redis

in type installation, you will be asked a few times and always answer no

and last you need to add to the php.ini file this line and restart apache2 server

1	extension=redis.so

Now we can test our Redis by executing this code

<?php

$redis = new Redis();

$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);

echo $redis->set('hello', 'here we go', 60)."\n";

echo $redis->get('hello');

Main Redis client on your ubuntu must have been installed, if still not, use this video instruction
