php-redis-lock
==============

[](#php-redis-lock)

Connecting to Redis:
--------------------

[](#connecting-to-redis)

```
RedisLock::connect('tcp://host:port');

```

Or to just connect to localhost and default port:

```
RedisLock::connect();

```

Acquiring a Lock:
-----------------

[](#acquiring-a-lock)

```
$lock = RedisLock::lock('resource');
if($lock) {
    doSomething();
}

```

This will attempt to acquire a lock for the named resource. If successful, the return value is a RedisLock object. If the resource was already locked, the return value will be +false+.

Releasing the Lock:
-------------------

[](#releasing-the-lock)

```
RedisLock::release($lock);

```

Make sure to release the lock once you're done with it, so another client can acquire it.

Lock Expiration
---------------

[](#lock-expiration)

If your client acquires a lock and then dies before releasing it, the lock will expire after a certain amount of time (default 5 minutes). You can set your own lock expiration when acquiring the lock like so: $lock = RedisLock::lock('resource', $expiration\_in\_seconds);
