As @yatsukhnenko posted it's when you are in a transaction (either MULTI, PIPELINE, or both). This allows you to chain commands $redis = new Redis;
$redis->connect('localhost', 6379);
$redis->multi() // Returns Redis ($this)
->set('user:id', 1) // Returns Redis ($this)
->set('user:name', 'Bob') // Returns Redis ($this)
->exec(); // Returns array of results: [true, true]And on the server: We only ever semantically return |
