Redis how to store associative array? Set or Hash or List?

Question

I\'m a bit confused with all the available storing options of Redis. I want to do something simple and I don\'t want to over engineer it. I\'m working with phpredis

Answer 1

Just for the folks looking for the PHP code, here is what I've ended up using:

// Create a post hash
$key = 'post:'.$post->getId();
$this->redis->hSet($key, 'data', serialize($post->toArray()));

// Add a post in the account posts SET
$this->redis->sAdd($account->getId().':posts', $post->getId());

// You can execute the above code as many time as you need 
// to add an object in a SET

// Fetch the first $limit posts for this account
// SORT :posts BY nosort GET :post:*->data
$key = $account->getId().':posts';
$keys = $this->redis->sort($key, array(
    'by' => 'nosort',
    'limit' => array($offset, $limit),
    'get' => 'post:*->data'
));

// All Good !
var_dump($keys);

I hope this will help some of you ;)
