## #87063 — Jan Ehrhardt — 2015-07-07T10:16:49+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/87063#87063

edtechd has done a great job by making a fork of the phpredis extension
C89-compatible. With a few further patches we have got an extension that
compiles with VC14 and in initial tests seems to work OK on Windows.
Repository: https://github.com/edtechd/phpredis

However, on Debian it does not work OK. It segfaults when running 'php
[some redis script]' and just quits halfway down the script when running
'sudo php [some redis script]' on Rasmus' php7 vagrant box. See the
comments at https://github.com/edtechd/phpredis/pull/4 for a gdb trace
and some more info.

I am not using the redis extension, but just helped edtechd a little
bit. If anyone else knows way to improve the current repository, please
make pull requests for edtechd's fork.
