////// Example: connect to Redis and store an array
<?php
$redis = new Redis;
$connect = $redis->connect( "172.18.0.1", "6379" );
$redis->setOption(Redis::OPT_SERIALIZER, Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP);
$array = array(
    'message' =>  "My message",
    'to_send' => 2,
    'from_send' => 1,                            
    'create_time' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
);

$input = $array;
$redis->set("messages",$input);

$getMessages = $redis->get("messages");
print_r($getMessages);
?>

///// Output from the script above
[root@d4860c5cd534 src]# /mnserver/php/bin/php ./test.php 
Array
(
    [message] => My message
    [to_send] => 2
    [from_send] => 1
    [create_time] => 2018-08-22 16:25:41
)

///// Get messages key from Redis-cli
[root@cp ~]# redis-cli -h 172.18.0.1 GET messages 
"a:4:{s:7:\"message\";s:10:\"My message\";s:7:\"to_send\";i:2;s:9:\"from_send\";i:1;s:11:\"create_time\";s:19:\"2018-08-22 16:25:41\";}"
