php-redis - Is there a way to store PHP object in Redis without serializing it? -

i trying store user' request url key , php object corresponding key value in redis. tried following:

$redisclient = new redis(); $redisclient->connect('localhost', 6379); $redisclient->set($_server['request_uri'], $this->page); $redistest = $redisclient->get($_server['request_uri']); var_dump($redistest);

however, code value of url key beingness stored in redis type of string value equal 'object' instead of actual php object. there way store php object without serializing it?

as can see in redis info types, redis supports these 5 info types:

stirng list set hash sorted set

so, there no object data-type , therefor not able store object straight value. have serialize first (or json-encode json_encode function example).

is there problem serializing insist on storing objects directly?

update: according said in comments, can utilize approach indicated in answer

so can use:

$xml = $simplexmlelem->asxml();

before serialization, , after unserialize(), utilize next code:

$simplexmlelem = simplexml_load_string($xml);

in way, don't have serialize php built-in object simplexmlelement straight , there no problems.
