The mget
method in Redis is used when you want to retrieve multiple keys at once. This is commonly used when you have a series of keys and you want to avoid multiple trips to the server. This can significantly improve efficiency and speed up your PHP application.
In this example, we are retrieving the values of key1
, key2
, and key3
using the mget
method.
$redis = new Redis(); $redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379); $values = $redis->mget(array('key1', 'key2', 'key3')); print_r($values);
The mget
method returns an array with the values of the specified keys. If a certain key does not exist, it will return FALSE at that position in the result array.
When using mget
, ensure that all the keys belong to the same data type. Also, try to limit the number of keys to prevent overloading the server. While there's no hard limit on the amount of keys you can get at once, it's generally better to stay in the range of hundreds or low thousands.
One common mistake is trying to get non-existent keys or keys of different data types. This can lead to unexpected results or errors.
mget

There's no hard limit imposed by Redis. However, fetching a large number of keys can impact performance.mget
method will return FALSE at that position in the result array.Dragonfly is fully compatible with the Redis ecosystem and requires no code changes to implement.
