Examples of how to use the Apache Solr extension in PHP
Example #1 Contents of the BootStrap file
<?php
/* Domain name of the Solr server */
define('SOLR_SERVER_HOSTNAME', 'solr.example.com');
/* Whether or not to run in secure mode */
define('SOLR_SECURE', true);
/* HTTP Port to connection */
define('SOLR_SERVER_PORT', ((SOLR_SECURE) ? 8443 : 8983));
/* HTTP Basic Authentication Username */
define('SOLR_SERVER_USERNAME', 'admin');
/* HTTP Basic Authentication password */
define('SOLR_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'changeit');
/* HTTP connection timeout */
/* This is maximum time in seconds allowed for the http data transfer operation. Default value is 30 seconds */
define('SOLR_SERVER_TIMEOUT', 10);
/* File name to a PEM-formatted private key + private certificate (concatenated in that order) */
define('SOLR_SSL_CERT', 'certs/combo.pem');
/* File name to a PEM-formatted private certificate only */
define('SOLR_SSL_CERT_ONLY', 'certs/solr.crt');
/* File name to a PEM-formatted private key */
define('SOLR_SSL_KEY', 'certs/solr.key');
/* Password for PEM-formatted private key file */
define('SOLR_SSL_KEYPASSWORD', 'StrongAndSecurePassword');
/* Name of file holding one or more CA certificates to verify peer with*/
define('SOLR_SSL_CAINFO', 'certs/cacert.crt');
/* Name of directory holding multiple CA certificates to verify peer with */
define('SOLR_SSL_CAPATH', 'certs/');
?>
Example #2 Adding a document to the index
<?php
include "bootstrap.php";
$options = array
(
'hostname' => SOLR_SERVER_HOSTNAME,
'login' => SOLR_SERVER_USERNAME,
'password' => SOLR_SERVER_PASSWORD,
'port' => SOLR_SERVER_PORT,
);
$client = new SolrClient($options);
$doc = new SolrInputDocument();
$doc->addField('id', 334455);
$doc->addField('cat', 'Software');
$doc->addField('cat', 'Lucene');
$updateResponse = $client->addDocument($doc);
print_r($updateResponse->getResponse());
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
SolrObject Object
(
[responseHeader] => SolrObject Object
(
[status] => 0
[QTime] => 446
)
)
Example #3 Merging one document into another document
<?php
include "bootstrap.php";
$doc = new SolrDocument();
$second_doc = new SolrDocument();
$doc->addField('id', 1123);
$doc->features = "PHP Client Side";
$doc->features = "Fast development cycles";
$doc['cat'] = 'Software';
$doc['cat'] = 'Custom Search';
$doc->cat = 'Information Technology';
$second_doc->addField('cat', 'Lucene Search');
$second_doc->merge($doc, true);
print_r($second_doc->toArray());
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[document_boost] => 0
[field_count] => 3
[fields] => Array
(
[0] => SolrDocumentField Object
(
[name] => cat
[boost] => 0
[values] => Array
(
[0] => Software
[1] => Custom Search
[2] => Information Technology
)
)
[1] => SolrDocumentField Object
(
[name] => id
[boost] => 0
[values] => Array
(
[0] => 1123
)
)
[2] => SolrDocumentField Object
(
[name] => features
[boost] => 0
[values] => Array
(
[0] => PHP Client Side
[1] => Fast development cycles
)
)
)
)

$query->addField('cat')->addField('features')->addField('id')->addField('timestamp');
$query_response = $client->query($query);
$response = $query_response->getResponse();
print_r($response);
?>

$query_response = $client->query($query);
$query_response->setParseMode(SolrQueryResponse::PARSE_SOLR_DOC);
$response = $query_response->getResponse();

If you are using Solr's multicore feature, you can access the cores via the path parameter in the $options array.
E.g.
<?php
$options = array(...., 'path' => 'solr/core0', ...);
?>
If you're testing these examples on a fresh install of solr, you will need to run a commit statement after you add documents to receive results when searching.
For example, add this:
<?php $client->commit(); ?>
to example 3 to be able to get any results when doing a search using example 5.
if your path to solr is something other than: /solr
you should add this to the bootstrap file above:
define('SOLR_SERVER_PATH', 'my-solr-url');
and then a corresponding entry to the options array in your client php code like:
'path' => SOLR_SERVER_PATH
I couldn't find this is in the documentation and had to peek at the source to figure it out.
The documentation in the example section doesn't mention that you need to commit once you've added doc(s).
So in short it would be something like:
$client = new SolrClient(array('hostname' => '127.0.0.1', 'port' => 8080));
$doc = new SolrInputDocument();
$doc->addField('id', 12345);
$doc->addField('name', 'some person');
$result = $client->addDocument($doc);
/* you are not done yet, you need to commit */
$client->commit();
Now if you query you should see your doc =]
