hMGet feature request, make second argument optional

[titpetric]

I'd like to see the hMGet($key, $array_of_hash_keys) have the second argument be optional:

• Warning: Redis::hMget() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given

Skipping it would return all defined hash key/values as an associative array.

IE:

$redis->hMSet("test", "a", "test:1");
$redis->hMSet("test", "b", 1);
var_dump( $redis->hMGet("test") );

// expected return

array(2) {
["a"]=>
string(6) "test:1"
["b"]=>
int(1)
}

I know a workaround would be to use serialization and get/set, but I'd like to avoid fetching the complete data set in many cases, but not all.

Might have to file this under redis-server :/

Hi Tit,

You can use hGetAll for that, it does exactly what you describe.

Oh, must have missed it. I apologize.
