Answer 1

predis is the prefered library(active development => 6 Januari 2011) to use.

redis://$x:$y@$z

Then you need the following code to get it working(I tested it):

<?php

require('./Predis.php');

#redis://$x:$y@$z
$redis   = new Predis\Client('redis://$z');
$redis->auth($y);
$redis->incr('counter');
echo $redis->get('counter');
echo "\n";

The strange thing is $x. It is not needed at all?

Answer 2

According to the documentation now, you can do this as part of the instantiation...

$redis = new Predis\Client(array(
    'host'     => '10.0.0.1', 
    'password' => 'secret', 
    'database' => 10, 
));

or

$redis = new Predis\Client('redis://10.0.0.1/?password=secret&database=10');

Answer 3

$db = 1;
$password='password';
$aRedisServers['host']="127.0.0.1";
$aRedisServers['port']= "6379";
$r = new Predis_Client();
$r->connect($aRedisServers['host'], $aRedisServers['port']);
$r->auth($password);
$r->select($db);

$r->set("set","new");
echo $r->get("set");
//output new
