These are a work in progress, but will eventually replace our **ONE README TO RULE THEM ALL** docs.  

## Supporting the project
PhpRedis will always be free and open source software, but if you or your company has found it useful please consider supporting the project.  Developing a large, complex, and performant library like PhpRedis takes a great deal of time and effort, and support would be appreciated! :heart:

The best way to support the project is through [GitHub sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/michael-grunder).  Many of the reward tiers grant access to our [slack channel](https://phpredis.slack.com) where [myself](https://github.com/michael-grunder) and [Pavlo](https://github.com/yatsukhnenko) are regularly available to answer questions.  Additionally this will allow you to provide feedback on which fixes and new features to prioritize.

# Installing/Configuring
-----

## Installation

For everything you should need to install PhpRedis on your system,
see the [INSTALL.md](./INSTALL.md) page.

## PHP Session handler

phpredis can be used to store PHP sessions. To do this, configure `session.save_handler` and `session.save_path` in your php.ini to tell phpredis where to store the sessions.

`session.save_path` can have a simple `host:port` format too, but you need to provide the `tcp://` scheme if you want to use the parameters. The following parameters are available:

* weight (integer): the weight of a host is used in comparison with the others in order to customize the session distribution on several hosts. If host A has twice the weight of host B, it will get twice the amount of sessions. In the example, *host1* stores 20% of all the sessions (1/(1+2+2)) while *host2* and *host3* each store 40% (2/(1+2+2)). The target host is determined once and for all at the start of the session, and doesn't change. The default weight is 1.
* timeout (float): the connection timeout to a redis host, expressed in seconds. If the host is unreachable in that amount of time, the session storage will be unavailable for the client. The default timeout is very high (86400 seconds).
* persistent (integer, should be 1 or 0): defines if a persistent connection should be used.
* prefix (string, defaults to "PHPREDIS_SESSION:"): used as a prefix to the Redis key in which the session is stored. The key is composed of the prefix followed by the session ID.
* auth (string, or an array with one or two elements): used to authenticate with the server prior to sending commands.
* database (integer): selects a different database.

Sessions have a lifetime expressed in seconds and stored in the INI variable "session.gc_maxlifetime". You can change it with [`ini_set()`](http://php.net/ini_set).
The session handler requires a version of Redis supporting `EX` and `NX` options of `SET` command (at least 2.6.12).
phpredis can also connect to a unix domain socket: `session.save_path = "unix:///var/run/redis/redis.sock?persistent=1&weight=1&database=0"`.

### Examples

Multiple Redis servers:
~~~
session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "tcp://host1:6379?weight=1, tcp://host2:6379?weight=2&timeout=2.5, tcp://host3:6379?weight=2&read_timeout=2.5"
~~~

Login to Redis using username and password:
~~~
session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "tcp://127.0.0.1:6379?auth[]=user&auth[]=password"
~~~

Login to Redis using username, password, and set prefix:
~~~
session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "tcp://127.0.0.1:6379?auth[]=user&auth[]=password&prefix=user_PHPREDIS_SESSION:"
~~~

### Session locking

**Support**: Locking feature is currently only supported for Redis setup with single master instance (e.g. classic master/slave Sentinel environment).
So locking may not work properly in RedisArray or RedisCluster environments.

Following INI variables can be used to configure session locking:
~~~
; Should the locking be enabled? Defaults to: 0.
redis.session.locking_enabled = 1
; How long should the lock live (in seconds)? Defaults to: value of max_execution_time.
redis.session.lock_expire = 60
; How long to wait between attempts to acquire lock, in microseconds (µs)?. Defaults to: 20000
redis.session.lock_wait_time = 50000
; Maximum number of times to retry (-1 means infinite). Defaults to: 100
redis.session.lock_retries = 2000
~~~

### Session compression

Following INI variables can be used to configure session compression:
~~~
; Should session compression be enabled? Possible values are zstd, lzf, lz4, none. Defaults to: none
redis.session.compression = zstd
; What compression level should be used? Compression level depends on used library. For most deployments range 1-9 should be fine. Defaults to: 3
redis.session.compression_level = 3
~~~

## Running the unit tests

phpredis uses a small custom unit test suite for testing functionality of the various classes.  To run tests, simply do the following:

~~~
# Run tests for Redis class (note this is the default)
php tests/TestRedis.php --class Redis

# Run tests for RedisArray class
tests/mkring.sh start
php tests/TestRedis.php --class RedisArray
tests/mkring.sh stop

# Run tests for the RedisCluster class
tests/make-cluster.sh start
php tests/TestRedis.php --class RedisCluster
tests/make-cluster.sh stop

# Run tests for RedisSentinel class
php tests/TestRedis.php --class RedisSentinel
~~~

Note that it is possible to run only tests which match a substring of the test itself by passing the additional argument '--test <str>' when invoking.

~~~
# Just run the 'echo' test
php tests/TestRedis.php --class Redis --test echo
~~~

# Classes and methods
-----

## Usage

1. [Class Redis](#class-redis)
1. [Class RedisException](#class-redisexception)
1. [Predefined constants](#predefined-constants)

### Class Redis
-----
_**Description**_: Creates a Redis client

##### *Example*

~~~php
$redis = new Redis();
~~~

Starting from version 6.0.0 it's possible to specify configuration options.
This allows to connect lazily to the server without explicitly invoking `connect` command.

##### *Example*

~~~php
$redis = new Redis([
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 6379,
    'connectTimeout' => 2.5,
    'auth' => ['phpredis', 'phpredis'],
    'ssl' => ['verify_peer' => false],
    'backoff' => [
        'algorithm' => Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_DECORRELATED_JITTER,
        'base' => 500,
        'cap' => 750,
    ],
]);
~~~

##### *Parameters*

*host*: string. can be a host, or the path to a unix domain socket.  
*port*: int (default is 6379, should be -1 for unix domain socket)  
*connectTimeout*: float, value in seconds (default is 0 meaning unlimited)  
*retryInterval*: int, value in milliseconds (optional)  
*readTimeout*: float, value in seconds (default is 0 meaning unlimited)  
*persistent*: mixed, if value is string then it used as persistend id, else value casts to boolean  
*auth*: mixed, authentication information  
*ssl*: array, SSL context options  

### Class RedisException
-----
phpredis throws a [RedisException](#class-redisexception) object if it can't reach the Redis server. That can happen in case of connectivity issues,
if the Redis service is down, or if the redis host is overloaded. In any other problematic case that does not involve an
unreachable server (such as a key not existing, an invalid command, etc), phpredis will return `FALSE`.

### Predefined constants
-----
_**Description**_: Available Redis Constants

Redis data types, as returned by [type](#type)
~~~
Redis::REDIS_STRING - String
Redis::REDIS_SET - Set
Redis::REDIS_LIST - List
Redis::REDIS_ZSET - Sorted set
Redis::REDIS_HASH - Hash
Redis::REDIS_NOT_FOUND - Not found / other
~~~

@TODO: OPT_SERIALIZER, AFTER, BEFORE,...

### connect, open
-----
_**Description**_: Connects to a Redis instance.

##### *Parameters*

*host*: string. can be a host, or the path to a unix domain socket. Starting from version 5.0.0 it is possible to specify schema  
*port*: int, optional  
*timeout*: float, value in seconds (optional, default is 0 meaning it will use default_socket_timeout)  
*reserved*: should be '' if retry_interval is specified  
*retry_interval*: int, value in milliseconds (optional)  
*read_timeout*: float, value in seconds (optional, default is 0 meaning it will use default_socket_timeout)  
*others*: array, with PhpRedis >= 5.3.0, it allows setting _auth_ and [_stream_](https://www.php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php) configuration.  

##### *Return value*

*BOOL*: `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error.

##### *Example*

~~~php
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1'); // port 6379 by default
$redis->connect('tls://127.0.0.1', 6379); // enable transport level security.
$redis->connect('tls://127.0.0.1'); // enable transport level security, port 6379 by default.
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 2.5); // 2.5 sec timeout.
$redis->connect('/tmp/redis.sock'); // unix domain socket.
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 1, '', 100); // 1 sec timeout, 100ms delay between reconnection attempts.
$redis->connect('/tmp/redis.sock', 0, 1.5, NULL, 0, 1.5); // Unix socket with 1.5s timeouts (connect and read)

/* With PhpRedis >= 5.3.0 you can specify authentication and stream information on connect */
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 1, '', 0, 0, ['auth' => ['phpredis', 'phpredis']]);
~~~

**Note:** `open` is an alias for `connect` and will be removed in future versions of phpredis.

### pconnect, popen
-----
_**Description**_: Connects to a Redis instance or reuse a connection already established with `pconnect`/`popen`.

The connection will not be closed on end of request until the php process ends.
So be prepared for too many open FD's errors (specially on redis server side) when using persistent
connections on many servers connecting to one redis server.

Also more than one persistent connection can be made identified by either host + port + timeout
or host + persistent_id or unix socket + timeout.

Starting from version 4.2.1, it became possible to use connection pooling by setting INI variable `redis.pconnect.pooling_enabled` to 1.

This feature is not available in threaded versions. `pconnect` and `popen` then working like their non
persistent equivalents.

##### *Parameters*

*host*: string. can be a host, or the path to a unix domain socket. Starting from version 5.0.0 it is possible to specify schema  
*port*: int, optional  
*timeout*: float, value in seconds (optional, default is 0 meaning it will use default_socket_timeout)  
*persistent_id*: string. identity for the requested persistent connection  
*retry_interval*: int, value in milliseconds (optional)  
*read_timeout*: float, value in seconds (optional, default is 0 meaning it will use default_socket_timeout)  

##### *Return value*

*BOOL*: `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error.

##### *Example*

~~~php
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1'); // port 6379 by default - same connection like before.
$redis->pconnect('tls://127.0.0.1', 6379); // enable transport level security.
$redis->pconnect('tls://127.0.0.1'); // enable transport level security, port 6379 by default.
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 2.5); // 2.5 sec timeout and would be another connection than the two before.
$redis->pconnect('127.0.0.1', 6379, 2.5, 'x'); // x is sent as persistent_id and would be another connection than the three before.
$redis->pconnect('/tmp/redis.sock'); // unix domain socket - would be another connection than the four before.
~~~

**Note:** `popen` is an alias for `pconnect` and will be removed in future versions of phpredis.

### auth
-----
_**Description**_: Authenticate the connection using a password or a username and password.
*Warning*: The password is sent in plain-text over the network.

##### *Parameters*
*MIXED*: password

##### *Return value*
*BOOL*: `TRUE` if the connection is authenticated, `FALSE` otherwise.

*Note*: In order to authenticate with a username and password you need Redis >= 6.0.

##### *Example*
~~~php
/* Authenticate with the password 'foobared' */
$redis->auth('foobared');

/* Authenticate with the username 'phpredis', and password 'haxx00r' */
$redis->auth(['phpredis', 'haxx00r']);

/* Authenticate with the password 'foobared' */
$redis->auth(['foobared']);

/* You can also use an associative array specifying user and pass */
$redis->auth(['user' => 'phpredis', 'pass' => 'phpredis']);
$redis->auth(['pass' => 'phpredis']);
~~~

### select
-----
_**Description**_: Change the selected database for the current connection.

##### *Parameters*
*INTEGER*: dbindex, the database number to switch to.

##### *Return value*
`TRUE` in case of success, `FALSE` in case of failure.
##### *Example*
See method for example: [move](#move)

### swapdb
-----
_**Description**_:  Swap one Redis database with another atomically  

##### *Parameters*  
*INTEGER*: db1  
*INTEGER*: db2  

##### *Return value*  
`TRUE` on success and `FALSE` on failure.

*Note*: Requires Redis >= 4.0.0

##### *Example*  
~~~php
$redis->swapdb(0, 1); /* Swaps DB 0 with DB 1 atomically */
~~~

### close
-----
_**Description**_: Disconnects from the Redis instance.

*Note*: Closing a persistent connection requires PhpRedis >= 4.2.0.

##### *Parameters*
None.

##### *Return value*
*BOOL*: `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on failure.

### setOption
-----
_**Description**_: Set client option.

##### *Parameters*

*parameter value*

##### *Return value*
*BOOL*: `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error.

##### *Example*
~~~php
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_NONE);	  // Don't serialize data
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP);	  // Use built-in serialize/unserialize
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_IGBINARY); // Use igBinary serialize/unserialize
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_MSGPACK);  // Use msgpack serialize/unserialize
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_JSON);  // Use JSON to serialize/unserialize

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_PREFIX, 'myAppName:');	// use custom prefix on all keys

/* Options for the SCAN family of commands, indicating whether to abstract
   empty results from the user.  If set to SCAN_NORETRY (the default), phpredis
   will just issue one SCAN command at a time, sometimes returning an empty
   array of results.  If set to SCAN_RETRY, phpredis will retry the scan command
   until keys come back OR Redis returns an iterator of zero
*/
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SCAN, Redis::SCAN_NORETRY);
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SCAN, Redis::SCAN_RETRY);

/* Scan can also be configured to automatically prepend the currently set PhpRedis
   prefix to any MATCH pattern. */
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SCAN, Redis::SCAN_PREFIX);

$redis->getOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER);
~~~

### ping
-----
_**Description**_: Check the current connection status.

##### *Prototype*
~~~php
$redis->ping([string $message]);
~~~

##### *Return value*
*Mixed*:  This method returns `TRUE` on success, or the passed string if called with an argument.

##### *Example*
~~~php
/* When called without an argument, PING returns `TRUE` */
$redis->ping();

/* If passed an argument, that argument is returned.  Here 'hello' will be returned */
$redis->ping('hello');
~~~

*Note*:  Prior to PhpRedis 5.0.0 this command simply returned the string `+PONG`.

### echo
-----
_**Description**_: Sends a string to Redis, which replies with the same string

##### *Parameters*

*STRING*: The message to send.

##### *Return value*

*STRING*: the same message.

## Retry and backoff

1. [Maximum retries](#maximum-retries)
1. [Backoff algorithms](#backoff-algorithms)

### Maximum retries
You can set and get the maximum retries upon connection issues using the `OPT_MAX_RETRIES` option. Note that this is the number of _retries_, meaning if you set this option to _n_, there will be a maximum _n+1_ attempts overall. Defaults to 10.

##### *Example*

~~~php
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_MAX_RETRIES, 5);
$redis->getOption(Redis::OPT_MAX_RETRIES);
~~~

### Backoff algorithms
You can set the backoff algorithm using the `Redis::OPT_BACKOFF_ALGORITHM` option and choose among the following algorithms described in this blog post by Marc Brooker from AWS: [Exponential Backoff And Jitter](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/exponential-backoff-and-jitter):

* Default: `Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_DEFAULT`
* Decorrelated jitter: `Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_DECORRELATED_JITTER`
* Full jitter: `Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_FULL_JITTER`
* Equal jitter: `Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_EQUAL_JITTER`
* Exponential: `Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_EXPONENTIAL`
* Uniform: `Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_UNIFORM`
* Constant: `Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_CONSTANT`

These algorithms depend on the _base_ and _cap_ parameters, both in milliseconds, which you can set using the `Redis::OPT_BACKOFF_BASE` and `Redis::OPT_BACKOFF_CAP` options, respectively.

##### *Example*

~~~php
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_BACKOFF_ALGORITHM, Redis::BACKOFF_ALGORITHM_DECORRELATED_JITTER);
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_BACKOFF_BASE, 500); // base for backoff computation: 500ms
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_BACKOFF_CAP, 750); // backoff time capped at 750ms
~~~

### acl
-----
_**Description**_: Execute the Redis ACL command.

##### *Parameters*
_variable_:  Minimum of one argument for `Redis` and two for `RedisCluster`.

##### *Example*
~~~php
$redis->acl('USERS'); /* Get a list of users */
$redis->acl('LOG');   /* See log of Redis' ACL subsystem */
~~~

*Note*:  In order to user the `ACL` command you must be communicating with Redis >= 6.0 and be logged into an account that has access to administration commands such as ACL.  Please reference [this tutorial](https://redis.io/topics/acl) for an overview of Redis 6 ACLs and [the redis command reference](https://redis.io/commands) for every ACL subcommand.

*Note*: If you are connecting to Redis server >= 4.0.0 you can remove a key with the `unlink` method in the exact same way you would use `del`.  The Redis [unlink](https://redis.io/commands/unlink) command is non-blocking and will perform the actual deletion asynchronously.

##### *Example*
~~~php
$redis->flushDb();
~~~

### info
-----
_**Description**_: Get information and statistics about the server

Returns an associative array that provides information about the server. Passing no arguments to
INFO will call the standard REDIS INFO command, which returns information such as the following:

* redis_version
* arch_bits
* uptime_in_seconds
* uptime_in_days
* connected_clients
* connected_slaves
* used_memory
* changes_since_last_save
* bgsave_in_progress
* last_save_time
* total_connections_received
* total_commands_processed
* role

You can pass a variety of options to INFO ([per the Redis documentation](http://redis.io/commands/info)),
which will modify what is returned.

##### *Parameters*
*option*: The option to provide redis (e.g. "COMMANDSTATS", "CPU")

##### *Example*
~~~php

/* Pop the *highest* scoring member from set `zs1`. */
$redis->zPopMax('zs1', 5);
~~~

### zRange
-----
_**Description**_: Returns a range of elements from the ordered set stored at the specified key, with values in the range [start, end].

Start and stop are interpreted as zero-based indices:

The georadius command can be called with various options that control how Redis returns results.  The following table describes the options phpredis supports.  All options are case insensitive.  

| Key       | Value       | Description
| :---      | :---        | :---- |
| COUNT     | integer > 0 | Limit how many results are returned
|           | WITHCOORD   | Return longitude and latitude of matching members
|           | WITHDIST    | Return the distance from the center
|           | WITHHASH    | Return the raw geohash-encoded score
|           | ASC         | Sort results in ascending order
|           | DESC        | Sort results in descending order
| STORE     | _key_       | Store results in _key_
| STOREDIST | _key_       | Store the results as distances in _key_

 *Note*:  It doesn't make sense to pass both `ASC` and `DESC` options but if both are passed the last one passed will be used.  
 *Note*:  When using `STORE[DIST]` in Redis Cluster, the store key must has to the same slot as the query key or you will get a `CROSSLOT` error.

##### *Return value*
*Mixed*:  When no `STORE` option is passed, this function returns an array of results.  If it is passed this function returns the number of stored entries.
 
##### *Example*
~~~php

## Generic
1. [rawCommand](#rawcommand) - Execute any generic command against the server.

### rawCommand
-----
_**Description**_: A method to execute any arbitrary command against the a Redis server

##### *Parameters*
This method is variadic and takes a dynamic number of arguments of various types (string, long, double), but must be passed at least one argument (the command keyword itself).

##### *Return value*
The return value can be various types depending on what the server itself returns.   No post processing is done to the returned value and must be handled by the client code.

##### *Example*
```php
/* Returns: true */
$redis->rawCommand("set", "foo", "bar");

/* Returns: "bar" */
$redis->rawCommand("get", "foo");

/* Returns: 3 */
$redis->rawCommand("rpush", "mylist", "one", 2, 3.5);

/* Returns: ["one", "2", "3.5000000000000000"] */
$redis->rawCommand("lrange", "mylist", 0, -1);
```

## Transactions

1. [multi, exec, discard](#multi-exec-discard) - Enter and exit transactional mode
2. [watch, unwatch](#watch-unwatch) - Watches a key for modifications by another client.

### multi, exec, discard.
-----
_**Description**_: Enter and exit transactional mode.

##### *Parameters*
(optional) `Redis::MULTI` or `Redis::PIPELINE`. Defaults to `Redis::MULTI`. A `Redis::MULTI` block of commands runs as a single transaction; a `Redis::PIPELINE` block is simply transmitted faster to the server, but without any guarantee of atomicity. `discard` cancels a transaction.

##### *Return value*
`multi()` returns the Redis instance and enters multi-mode. Once in multi-mode, all subsequent method calls return the same object until `exec()` is called.

##### *Example*
~~~php
$ret = $redis->multi()
    ->set('key1', 'val1')
    ->get('key1')
    ->set('key2', 'val2')
    ->get('key2')
    ->exec();

/*
$ret == [0 => TRUE, 1 => 'val1', 2 => TRUE, 3 => 'val2'];
*/
~~~

### watch, unwatch
-----
_**Description**_: Watches a key for modifications by another client.

If the key is modified between `WATCH` and `EXEC`, the MULTI/EXEC transaction will fail (return `FALSE`). `unwatch` cancels all the watching of all keys by this client.

##### *Parameters*
*keys*: string for one key or array for a list of keys

##### *Example*
~~~php
$redis->watch('x'); // or for a list of keys: $redis->watch(['x','another key']);
/* long code here during the execution of which other clients could well modify `x` */
$ret = $redis->multi()
    ->incr('x')
    ->exec();
/*
$ret = FALSE if x has been modified between the call to WATCH and the call to EXEC.
*/
~~~



## Scripting

* [eval](#eval) - Evaluate a LUA script serverside
* [evalSha](#evalsha) - Evaluate a LUA script serverside, from the SHA1 hash of the script instead of the script itself
* [script](#script) - Execute the Redis SCRIPT command to perform various operations on the scripting subsystem
* [getLastError](#getlasterror) - The last error message (if any)
* [clearLastError](#clearlasterror) - Clear the last error message
* [_prefix](#_prefix) - A utility method to prefix the value with the prefix setting for phpredis
* [_unserialize](#_unserialize) - A utility method to unserialize data with whatever serializer is set up
* [_serialize](#_serialize) - A utility method to serialize data with whatever serializer is set up

### eval
-----
_**Description**_: Evaluate a LUA script serverside

##### *Parameters*
*script* string.  
*args* array, optional.  
*num_keys* int, optional.

##### *Return value*
Mixed.  What is returned depends on what the LUA script itself returns, which could be a scalar value (int/string), or an array.
Arrays that are returned can also contain other arrays, if that's how it was set up in your LUA script.  If there is an error
executing the LUA script, the getLastError() function can tell you the message that came back from Redis (e.g. compile error).

##### *Examples*
~~~php
$redis->eval("return 1"); // Returns an integer: 1
$redis->eval("return {1,2,3}"); // Returns [1,2,3]
$redis->del('mylist');
$redis->rpush('mylist','a');
$redis->rpush('mylist','b');
$redis->rpush('mylist','c');
// Nested response:  [1,2,3,['a','b','c']];
$redis->eval("return {1,2,3,redis.call('lrange','mylist',0,-1)}");
~~~

### evalSha
-----
_**Description**_: Evaluate a LUA script serverside, from the SHA1 hash of the script instead of the script itself.

In order to run this command Redis will have to have already loaded the script,
either by running it or via the SCRIPT LOAD command.

##### *Parameters*
*script_sha* string.  The sha1 encoded hash of the script you want to run.  
*args* array, optional.  Arguments to pass to the LUA script.  
*num_keys* int, optional.  The number of arguments that should go into the KEYS array, vs. the ARGV array when Redis spins the script

##### *Return value*
Mixed.  See EVAL

##### *Examples*
~~~php
$script = 'return 1';
$sha = $redis->script('load', $script);
$redis->evalSha($sha); // Returns 1
~~~

### script
-----
_**Description**_: Execute the Redis SCRIPT command to perform various operations on the scripting subsystem.

##### *Usage*
~~~php
$redis->script('load', $script);
$redis->script('flush');
$redis->script('kill');
$redis->script('exists', $script1, [$script2, $script3, ...]);
~~~

##### *Return value*
* SCRIPT LOAD will return the SHA1 hash of the passed script on success, and FALSE on failure.
* SCRIPT FLUSH should always return TRUE
* SCRIPT KILL will return true if a script was able to be killed and false if not
* SCRIPT EXISTS will return an array with TRUE or FALSE for each passed script

### client
-----
_**Description**_: Issue the CLIENT command with various arguments.

The Redis CLIENT command can be used in four ways.
* CLIENT LIST
* CLIENT GETNAME
* CLIENT SETNAME [name]
* CLIENT KILL [ip:port]

##### *Usage*
~~~php
$redis->client('list'); // Get a list of clients
$redis->client('getname'); // Get the name of the current connection
$redis->client('setname', 'somename'); // Set the name of the current connection
$redis->client('kill', <ip:port>); // Kill the process at ip:port
~~~

##### *Return value*
This will vary depending on which client command was executed.

* CLIENT LIST will return an array of arrays with client information.
* CLIENT GETNAME will return the client name or false if none has been set
* CLIENT SETNAME will return true if it can be set and false if not
* CLIENT KILL will return true if the client can be killed, and false if not

Note:  phpredis will attempt to reconnect so you can actually kill your own connection
but may not notice losing it!
### getLastError
-----
_**Description**_: The last error message (if any)

##### *Parameters*
*none*

##### *Return value*
A string with the last returned script based error message, or NULL if there is no error

##### *Examples*
~~~php
$redis->eval('this-is-not-lua');
$err = $redis->getLastError();
// "ERR Error compiling script (new function): user_script:1: '=' expected near '-'"
~~~

### clearLastError
-----
_**Description**_: Clear the last error message

##### *Parameters*
*none*

##### *Return value*
*BOOL* TRUE

##### *Examples*
~~~php
$redis->set('x', 'a');
$redis->incr('x');
$err = $redis->getLastError();
// "ERR value is not an integer or out of range"
$redis->clearLastError();
$err = $redis->getLastError();
// NULL
~~~

### _prefix
-----
_**Description**_: A utility method to prefix the value with the prefix setting for phpredis.

##### *Parameters*
*value* string.  The value you wish to prefix

##### *Return value*
If a prefix is set up, the value now prefixed.  If there is no prefix, the value will be returned unchanged.

##### *Examples*
~~~php
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_PREFIX, 'my-prefix:');
$redis->_prefix('my-value'); // Will return 'my-prefix:my-value'
~~~

### _serialize
-----
_**Description**_: A utility method to serialize values manually.

This method allows you to serialize a value with whatever serializer is configured, manually.
This can be useful for serialization/unserialization of data going in and out of EVAL commands
as phpredis can't automatically do this itself.  Note that if no serializer is set, phpredis
will change Array values to 'Array', and Objects to 'Object'.

##### *Parameters*
*value*:  Mixed.  The value to be serialized

##### *Examples*
~~~php
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_NONE);
$redis->_serialize("foo"); // returns "foo"
$redis->_serialize([]); // Returns "Array"
$redis->_serialize(new stdClass()); // Returns "Object"

$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP);
$redis->_serialize("foo"); // Returns 's:3:"foo";'
~~~

### _unserialize
-----
_**Description**_: A utility method to unserialize data with whatever serializer is set up.

If there is no serializer set, the value will be returned unchanged.  If there is a serializer set up,
and the data passed in is malformed, an exception will be thrown. This can be useful if phpredis is
serializing values, and you return something from redis in a LUA script that is serialized.

##### *Parameters*
*value* string.  The value to be unserialized

##### *Examples*
~~~php
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP);
$redis->_unserialize('a:3:{i:0;i:1;i:1;i:2;i:2;i:3;}'); // Will return [1,2,3]
