Question

I am new to redis and predis. I want to create a simple sign up form and want to send data to user email id. I have written the script for sign up and email sending. Now I want to make a queue in which i want to put both of the jobs. and as the user click on submit then processor should not wait for sending email. sending email should be put in a queue. and should be processed in background. please guys can anyone give me a reference of such script in php using redis.

What you can do is, push the data to a redis list and pick data from the worker which is polling the list for any data and then send it by email.

Steps:

Make a new predis client $redis = new Predis\Client("parameter");

A predis list $redis->lpush(listname, "Data");

and finally a worker(Cron) which is taking data from the same list

$redis->rpop(listname, variable);

Other work around way is to use pub/sub of redis.

Try redis here and documentation- redis commands
