Answer
PHP extensions allow storing cached data, sessions, and queues using Redis or Memcached.
Quick Answer
PHP connects to Redis via phpredis extension or predis library. Store cache: set key to serialized value with TTL. Read cache: get key, unserialize. Pattern: check cache first, if miss hit DB and store result. Redis also handles sessions, rate limiting counters, pub/sub, and queues. Memcached is simpler but Redis is more versatile with data structures (lists, sets, sorted sets).
