predisHow do I use the php redis blpop command?


The BLPOP command is used to remove and get the first element in a list, blocking until one is available. It is part of the Redis List data structure.

Example usage:

$redis->blpop('list', 10);

This command will block for up to 10 seconds until an element is available. If an element is available, it will be removed from the list and returned.

Code explanation

  • $redis: The Redis instance.
  • blpop: The command used to remove and get the first element in a list.
  • list: The list from which to remove the element.
  • 10: The number of seconds to block until an element is available.
