php-redis - Is there a way to store PHP object in Redis without serializing it?

Question

I am trying to store user\' request URL as the key and a PHP object corresponding to that key as the value in Redis. I tried the following:

$redisClient = new Re

An addition to Aliweb's answer!

Redis supports integers as well as actions like INCR, INCRBY, DECR and DECRBY.

As for the question:

Serialize only if is not a String or Int. Serialization is a costly operation!

on GET and HGET try to see what if it is serialized:

'

private function string_unserialize($str){
        $data = @unserialize($str);
        if ($str === 'b:0;'){
            return 0;
        }elseif($data !== false){
            return $data;
        }else {
            return $str;
        }
    }
