Release 2.4.1 about phpfastcache HOT 3 CLOSED

If Redis isn't installed, and you try to use it, it you will get:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function connect() on a non-object in phpfastcache/drivers/redis.php on line 45

which is an un-catchable error.

This happens because you have this code in redis.php __construct()

if(class_exists("Redis")) {
    $this->instant = new Redis();
}

If the Redis class doesn't exist, you never assign to $this->instant, and thus later, $this->instant->connect($p1,$p2,$p3) thows the error.

PS: It's probably worth mentioning in the README that using Redis requires use of phpredis, as opposed to another library such as predis.

• I will add phpredis on README
• I will add 1 more driver called "predis" on Monday, Feb 09 for who use predis.
