FAQ
Example:
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 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.
Informations about the package sphinx
SphinxServiceProvider
This is a simple service provider for silex that ties the SphinxSearch-API in.
A word of warning
This is currently work in progress and not suitable for use in productive environments.
The API may change often and erratically. Generally, I would advise against using this before version 1.0.0
I you'd really like to use this productively, I recommend to choose a version and stick with it, i.e. set "require 'ttf/sphinx': '0.1.2'" in your composer.json
Usage
Register the service provider as you would any other:
$app->register( new Ttf\SphinxServiceProvider());If you're running the sphinx searchd on any host/port combination other than the assumed "localhost:3312", you need to supply these parameters here:
$app->register( new Ttf\SphinxServiceProvider(), array(
'sphinx.port' => 3413,
'sphinx.host' => 'sphinx.example.org'
));Following that, you would use it as any other service provider. Start off by using the search method on the provider, which will return a result object:
$app->get('/search', function( Request $request ) use ($app) {
$result = $app['sphinx']->search( $request->get('q'), 'myCatalog' );
return new Response( (String) $result, 200 );
});Coercing the $result object to a string will return a human readable representation of your research results.
In this case, a call request would look like:
http://silex.local/search?q=cheeseA more elaborate example would be:
$app->get('/search', function( Request $request ) use ($app) {
if( $result = $app['sphinx']->search( $request->get('q'), 'catalog' ) ) {
$indices = $result->fetchIndices();
$query = 'Select description, tags from stand where fiorg = ?';
foreach( $indices as $index ) {
$entries = $app['db']->fetchAssoc( $query, array( $index ));
}
$app['twig']->render('search.twig',
array(
'results' => $entries
)
);
}
});Passing parameters to the Sphinx API
Note that you can also directly pass arguments to the sphinxsearch api. Simply use them on the service:
$app['sphinx']->SetRankingMode( SPH_RANK_SPH04 );
$app['sphinx']->SetFieldWeights( array( 'tags' => 10, 'description' => 5) );
