## About ##
Predis is a flexible and feature-complete PHP client library for the Redis key-value
database. It currently comes in two flavors:
Predis is a flexible and feature-complete PHP (>= 5.3) client library for the Redis key-value store.
- the mainline client library, which targets PHP 5.3.x and leverages a lot of the
features introduced in this new version of the PHP interpreter.
- a backport to PHP 5.2.x for those who can not upgrade their environment yet
(it admittedly has a lower priority compared to the mainline library, although we
try to keep the two versions aligned as much as possible).
Please refer to the TODO file to see which issues are still pending and what is due
to be implemented soon in Predis.
For a version compatible with PHP 5.2 you must use the backported version of latest release in the 0.6.x series.
Please refer to the TODO file to see which issues are still pending and what is due to be implemented soon in Predis.
## Main features ##
- Full support for Redis 2.0 and 2.2. Different versions of Redis are supported via server profiles.
- Client-side sharding (support for consistent hashing and custom distribution strategies).
- Command pipelining on single and multiple connections (transparent).
- Command pipelining on single and multiple connections.
- Abstraction for Redis transactions (>= 2.0) with support for CAS operations (>= 2.2).
- Lazy connections (connections to Redis instances are only established just in time).
- Flexible system to define and register your own set of commands to a client instance.

### Loading Predis
Predis relies on the autoloading features of PHP and complies with the
(PSR-0 standard)[http://groups.google.com/group/php-standards/web/psr-0-final-proposal]
for interoperability with the major frameworks and libraries.
When used in simple projects or scripts you might need to define an autoloader function:
spl_autoload_register(function($class) {
$file = PREDIS_BASE_PATH . strtr($class, '\\', '/') . '.php';
if (file_exists($file)) {
require $file;
return true;
}
});
