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
                        )

                )

        )

)

Example #4 Searching for documents - SolrObject responses

<?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);

$query = new SolrQuery();

$query->setQuery('lucene');

$query->setStart(0);

$query->setRows(50);

$query->addField('cat')->addField('features')->addField('id')->addField('timestamp');

$query_response = $client->query($query);

$response = $query_response->getResponse();

print_r($response);

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

SolrObject Object

Example #5 Searching for documents - SolrDocument responses

<?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);

$query = new SolrQuery();

$query->setQuery('lucene');

$query->setStart(0);

$query->setRows(50);

$query->addField('cat')->addField('features')->addField('id')->addField('timestamp');

$query_response = $client->query($query);

$query_response->setParseMode(SolrQueryResponse::PARSE_SOLR_DOC);

$response = $query_response->getResponse();

print_r($response);

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

SolrObject Object
(
    [responseHeader] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [status] => 0
            [QTime] => 1
            [params] => SolrObject Object
                (
                    [wt] => xml
                    [rows] => 50
                    [start] => 0
                    [indent] => on
                    [q] => lucene
                    [fl] => cat,features,id,timestamp
                    [version] => 2.2
                )

        )

    [response] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [numFound] => 3
            [start] => 0
            [docs] => Array
                (
                    [0] => SolrDocument Object
                        (
                            [_hashtable_index:SolrDocument:private] => 19740
                        )

                    [1] => SolrDocument Object
                        (
                            [_hashtable_index:SolrDocument:private] => 25485
                        )

                    [2] => SolrDocument Object
                        (
                            [_hashtable_index:SolrDocument:private] => 25052
                        )

                )

        )

)

Example #6 Simple TermsComponent example - basic

<?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);

$query = new SolrQuery();

$query->setTerms(true);

$query->setTermsField('cat');

$updateResponse = $client->query($query);

print_r($updateResponse->getResponse());

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

SolrObject Object
(
    [responseHeader] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [status] => 0
            [QTime] => 2
        )

    [terms] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [cat] => SolrObject Object
                (
                    [electronics] => 14
                    [Lucene] => 4
                    [Software] => 4
                    [memory] => 3
                    [card] => 2
                    [connector] => 2
                    [drive] => 2
                    [graphics] => 2
                    [hard] => 2
                    [monitor] => 2
                )

        )

)

Example #7 Simple TermsComponent example - using a prefix

<?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);

$query = new SolrQuery();

$query->setTerms(true);

/* Return only terms starting with $prefix */
$prefix = 'c';

$query->setTermsField('cat')->setTermsPrefix($prefix);

$updateResponse = $client->query($query);

print_r($updateResponse->getResponse());

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

SolrObject Object
(
    [responseHeader] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [status] => 0
            [QTime] => 1
        )

    [terms] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [cat] => SolrObject Object
                (
                    [card] => 2
                    [connector] => 2
                    [camera] => 1
                    [copier] => 1
                )

        )

)

Example #8 Simple TermsComponent example - specifying a minimum frequency

<?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);

$query = new SolrQuery();

$query->setTerms(true);

/* Return only terms starting with $prefix */
$prefix = 'c';

/* Return only terms with a frequency of 2 or greater */
$min_frequency = 2;

$query->setTermsField('cat')->setTermsPrefix($prefix)->setTermsMinCount($min_frequency);

$updateResponse = $client->query($query);

print_r($updateResponse->getResponse());

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

SolrObject Object
(
    [responseHeader] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [status] => 0
            [QTime] => 0
        )

    [terms] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [cat] => SolrObject Object
                (
                    [card] => 2
                    [connector] => 2
                )

        )

)

$updateResponse = $client->query($query);

$response_array = $updateResponse->getResponse();

$facet_data = $response_array->facet_counts->facet_fields;

print_r($facet_data);

Example #11 Facet Date Example

<?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);

$query = new SolrQuery('*:*');

$query->setFacet(true);

$query->addFacetDateField('manufacturedate_dt');

$query->setFacetDateStart('2006-02-13T00:00:00Z');

$query->setFacetDateEnd('2012-02-13T00:00:00Z');

$query->setFacetDateGap('+1YEAR');

$query->setFacetDateHardEnd(1);

$query->addFacetDateOther('before');

$updateResponse = $client->query($query);

$response_array = $updateResponse->getResponse();

$facet_data = $response_array->facet_counts->facet_dates;

print_r($facet_data);

Example #14 Solr Real Time Get (RTG) example SolrClient::getById

<?php

include "bootstrap.php";

$options = array
(
    'hostname' => SOLR_SERVER_HOSTNAME,
    'login'    => SOLR_SERVER_USERNAME,
    'password' => SOLR_SERVER_PASSWORD,
    'port'     => SOLR_SERVER_PORT,
    'path'     => SOLR_SERVER_PATH
);

$client = new SolrClient($options);
$response = $client->getById('GB18030TEST');
print_r($response->getResponse());

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

SolrObject Object
(
    [doc] => SolrObject Object
        (
            [id] => GB18030TEST
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Test with some GB18030 encoded characters
                )

            [features] => Array
                (
                    [0] => No accents here
                    [1] => 这是一个功能

                (
                    [0] => 0
                )

            [inStock] => Array
                (
