PHP 7: Redis extenstion doesn’t load (PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library)

Recently, I’ve upgraded PHP to version 7.0.4. After that I tried to re-install Redis client (PHP Redis) by following steps similar to these instructions.

However, when I run PHP I get the following error:

$ php -v
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20151012/redis.so' - /usr/lib/php/20151012/redis.so: undefined symbol: zval_used_for_init in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20151012/redis.so' - /usr/lib/php/20151012/redis.so: undefined symbol: zval_used_for_init in Unknown on line 0

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Answer

In beginning of march 2016 stable branch of phpredis does not support php7. But you can use it with php7-brunch. It still has some bugs but actually can be used.
