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?

Add extension=redis.so in your php.ini

my php.ini path is this you can find php.ini path through phpinfo();/usr/local/etc/php/7.0/php.ini restart your php

brew services restart [email protected]

run make test. Redis support is enable .Now you can view in phpinfo()
