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

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

Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php/20151012/
cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/lib/php/20151012/#INST@10102#': Permission denied

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!
