Hi Solr Users,
Im new to using Solr and trying to implement it as a search engine for our company web site using the simple html form provided by donovan....@gmail.com at http://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/wiki/ExampleUsage. The example provided via this web page fails to work for me. From what I can determine the php bails when trying to access any items in the object returned by $solr->search. For example, the php file stops when executing the second statement in the following two lines of code: $response = $solr->search( $query, $offset, $limit); $test = $response->response->numFound; The problem appears to be due to the private protections placed on the object returned from $solr->search. Enclosed between the horizontal lines below is some code Ive inserted within the first try statement to provide some output. -------------------------------------------- try { print("query = $query <br>"); //debug $results = $solr->search($query, 0, $limit); echo "Executing print_r(\$results) <br>"; //debug echo "result contents: ", print_r($results), "<br>"; //debug print "<br>"; echo "http status: ", $results->getHttpStatusMessage(), "<br>"; $raw_response = $results->getRawResponse(); echo "Executing print_r(\$results->getRawResponse()) <br>"; //debug echo "Raw Response: ", print_r($raw_response), "<br><br>"; //returns 800 char string print "Executing: echo \$results->response->numFound; <br>"; echo $results->response->numFound; print "<br> Passed new test load <br>"; } catch (Exception $e) { // in production you'd probably log or email this error to an admin // and then show a special message to the user but for this example // we're going to show the full exception die("<html><head><title>SEARCH EXCEPTION</title><body><pre>{$e >__toString()}</pre></body></html>"); } -------------------------------------------- The output obtained is shown between the horizontal lines below. From the output it is clear that Solr is working fine and that the php file encounters a problem when executing $results->response->numFound because it never gets to the Passed new test load statement. -------------------------------------------- query = rochford Executing print_r($results) result contents: Apache_Solr_Response Object ( [_response:protected] => Apache_Solr_HttpTransport_Response Object ( [_statusCode:private] => 200 [_statusMessage:private] => OK [_mimeType:private] => text/plain [_encoding:private] => UTF-8 [_responseBody:private] => {"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":1,"params":{"start":"0","q":"rochford" ,"json.nl":"map","wt":"json","rows":"10"}},"response":{"numFound":1,"start": 0,"docs":[{"id":"SOLR1000","name":"Solr, the Enterprise Search Server","manu":"Apache Software Foundation","price":0.0,"popularity":10,"inStock":true,"incubationdate_dt":" 2006-01-17T00:00:00Z","cat":["software","search"],"features":["Peter Rochford added text here!","Advanced Full-Text Search Capabilities using Lucene","Optimized for High Volume Web Traffic","Standards Based Open Interfaces - XML and HTTP","Comprehensive HTML Administration Interfaces","Scalability - Efficient Replication to other Solr Search Servers","Flexible and Adaptable with XML configuration and Schema","Good unicode support: héllo (hello with an accent over the e)"]}]}} ) [_isParsed:protected] => [_parsedData:protected] => [_createDocuments:protected] => 1 [_collapseSingleValueArrays:protected] => 1 ) 1 http status: OK Executing print_r($results->getRawResponse()) Raw Response: {"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":1,"params":{"start":"0","q":"rochford" ,"json.nl":"map","wt":"json","rows":"10"}},"response":{"numFound":1,"start": 0,"docs":[{"id":"SOLR1000","name":"Solr, the Enterprise Search Server","manu":"Apache Software Foundation","price":0.0,"popularity":10,"inStock":true,"incubationdate_dt":" 2006-01-17T00:00:00Z","cat":["software","search"],"features":["Peter Rochford added text here!","Advanced Full-Text Search Capabilities using Lucene","Optimized for High Volume Web Traffic","Standards Based Open Interfaces - XML and HTTP","Comprehensive HTML Administration Interfaces","Scalability - Efficient Replication to other Solr Search Servers","Flexible and Adaptable with XML configuration and Schema","Good unicode support: héllo (hello with an accent over the e)"]}]}}1 Executing: echo $results->response->numFound; -------------------------------------------- Clearly the search for "Rochford" is successful. The problem is I cannot access the item in the $results object. Note that I am using the following versions of Solr, PHP, and Java: Apache-Solr-3.3.0 PHP 5.3.8 (cli) (built: Aug 29 2011 21:03:55) Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies java version "1.6.0_27" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode) Any suggestions on the cause of the problem and what is the solution would be appreciated.
