After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

📊 Performance

Benchmarks

Based on testing with typical hardware:

Records Search Time Memory Usage
10K 10-50ms ~2MB
100K 50-150ms ~5MB
1M 100-500ms ~10MB
10M 500ms-2s ~20MB

Performance varies based on hardware, query complexity, and data characteristics.

Optimization Tips

  1. Use Caching: Enable caching for frequently searched queries
  2. Queue Indexing: Use queues for large datasets
  3. Limit Results: Use limit() to reduce result set size
  4. Select Fields: Only select needed fields with select()
  5. Index Optimization: Ensure your MySQL FULLTEXT indexes are optimized
  6. MySQL Configuration: Adjust ft_min_word_len for shorter words

MySQL FULLTEXT Configuration

To search for words shorter than 4 characters, modify MySQL configuration:

Then rebuild your indexes:

🔍 Troubleshooting

No Search Results

  1. Check if index exists:

  2. Verify minimum word length:

    • MySQL default is 4 characters
    • Words shorter than this won't be indexed
    • Solution: Adjust ft_min_word_len in MySQL config
  3. Check searchable fields:

Slow Search Performance

  1. Enable caching:

  2. Use queue for indexing:

  3. Limit results:

  4. Check MySQL FULLTEXT index:

Index Creation Fails

  1. Check table engine:

    • Must be InnoDB or MyISAM
    • InnoDB recommended for MySQL 5.6+

  2. Check column types:

    • FULLTEXT only works with TEXT and VARCHAR columns
  3. Check MySQL version:
    • MySQL 5.6+ required for InnoDB FULLTEXT
