UPDATE 2016-03-10

As mentioned by @jackmcpickle php-redis can now be installed with apt-get install php-redis and should be equivalent to the manual installation below. After installation phpinfo() says: Redis-Version 2.2.8-devphp7

Same with xdebug. apt-get install php-xdebug will install the newly released stable version 2.4.0 that has php7 support.

So the manual installations below are not needed any longer.

---

Build phpredis extension

git clone https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis.git
cd phpredis
git checkout php7
phpize
./configure
make && make install
cd ..
rm -rf phpredis

Activate phpredis extension in fpm and cli

echo "extension=redis.so" > /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini

ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-redis.ini

ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-redis.ini

service php7.0-fpm restart

nginx vhost config

Replace unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock with unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock

service nginx restart

Install xdebug extension

# Download stable release of xdebug 2.4.0
wget -c "http://xdebug.org/files/xdebug-2.4.0.tgz"
# Extract archive
tar -xf xdebug-2.4.0.tgz

cd xdebug-2.4.0/

# build extension
phpize
./configure
make && make install

Enable the extension:

echo "zend_extension=xdebug.so" > /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/xdebug.ini

ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini

service php7.0-fpm restart

# Check it
php -m | grep -i xdebug

# should print:
xdebug
Xdebug

How to enable ZTS to support pthread in this installation?

AFAIK for enabling ZTS you need to build php on your own.

Can anyone comment on the stability of php-redis in PHP7? It looks like they haven't released a stable build yet...

Fixed ppa and mods-available path in redis section

Added how to enable stable xdebug 2.4.0 extension

We're using php-redis with php7.0 and seems to be running ok.

@tylermauthe Please see my update from 2016-03-10 above.
@jackmcpickle Thanks for sharing!

buenisimo muchas gracias por el aporte

helped me a lot. thank you so much!

For activating Redis extension with Apache2, I also had to do
sudo ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-redis.ini

Nice one...thanks

Thanks !

Instead of creating symlinks manualy it would be better to use native tool phpenmod
phpenmod -v 7.0 redis

make && sudo make install

Thanks! That worked with PHP 7.1 too.

Under certain conditions the following command does not work,
#apt-get install php-redis
#apt-get install php-xdebug
you must use (php 7.0)
#apt-get install php7.0-redis
#apt-get install php7.0-xdebug

I love you all!

I love everyone who leaves a comment above that helps the others!

Thank you guys so much!
