Xampp

https://www.phpflow.com/php/how-to-setup-redis-server-and-use-with-php

• Download php_redis.dll file from PECL libs. Download extension as per your current PHP version.
• Copy the php_redis.dll and paste to following folder in XAMPP Server extension directory(D:\XAMPP\php\ext).
• Open the php.ini file and add extension=php_redis.dll line into this file.
• Restart XAMPP server
• Open phpinfo() of XAMPP server and search Redis, if found that means you successfully integrated Redis with PHP.

Usage

<?php

try {
    // create redis instance
    $redis = new \Redis();
    
    // connect with server and port
    $redis->connect('localhost', 6379);
    
    // set key
    $redis->set('user', 'John Doe');
    
    // get value
    $user = $redis->get('user');

    print($user); // John Doe
} catch (Exception $ex) {
    echo $ex->getMessage();
}

The XAMPP section is patently wrong and only enables the php_redis extension - without some sort of binary that packages redis-server there's nothing to connect to and it will result in the "No connection..." error described above. The unofficial binaries listed in the Windows section are at 2 major versions out of date and counting. It boggles my mind that the Redis devs haven't bothered to create an official binary for Windows when it's the most widely used platform for local development by a large margin.

Can't help with the Horizon part but I wrote this for getting Redis set up with XAMPP a few months ago, it might help:
