how do you install php-redis on php 7.0 on macos high sierra with homebrew or pecl?

Question

Trying to install redis extensions for php 7.0 on my high sierra apache.

brew install php-redis - doesn't work.

brew install [email protected] - doesn't work.

brew install php70-redis - doesn't work.

google google google - Homebrew is the wrong approach, use pecl, they say.

pecl search redis shows:

redis 4.0.2 (stable) 4.0.2 PHP extension for interfacing with Redis

so pecl install redis

pecl/redis is already installed and is the same as the released version 4.0.2 install failed

hmm. that's right. And I've put in the reference to the ini file:

cat /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/conf.d/ext-redis.ini

[redis] extension="/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20160303/redis.so"

sudo service apachectl -k restart

check phpinfo() - no mention of redis but it does state that it is loading at the ext-redis.ini file.

Definately not loading, since if I try to use it on a php page I get

Fatal error: Uncaught phpFastCache\Exceptions\phpFastCacheDriverCheckException: Redis is not installed or is misconfigured, cannot continue.

What are the steps for getting redis connected in php on macos in 2018?

Perhaps try using Macports; sudo port install php-redis – Antipater

I went to some lengths to explain here... https://mcmap.net/q/393426/-homebrew-install-new-formula-php72-imagick It should work the same way for php-redis. – Caducous

Add extension=redis.so in your php.ini

You may want to use "Predis" instead of "Redis" which is an applicative client designed for people that can't make use of php "Redis" extension. However your Redis service must be running and listening for internal connections.

Predis uses php redis on the lower level! – Wedding
