Re: PHP client for a web application
Hi esteban. Im currently using both in my application. Both are fine. Solarium is great because it models the concepts of solr and can build queries using OOP. The other one is more lower level, so u have to write queries manually, which can be good in some situations. Both are fast enough. Solarium has bigger learning curve. Solarium has built in batch updating and other things like parallel queries. So i would go with solarium. Its a very nice library.

Re: UI
My favourite php library is solarium. Everything OOP. I've tried a few. http://www.solarium-project.org/ Sent from my iPhone On 21/05/2012, at 6:44 PM, Johannes Goll wrote: > yes, I am using this library and it works perfectly so far.

Re: Is Sphinx better suited to me, or should I look at Solr?
I gave up on sphinx and went to solr. I feel it is more mature. For example, sphinx didn't have an auto start init script and they tried to hit me up for consultancy fees cos I asked a simple question. I use php and use solarium php client. Nice oop interface. Solr has a great community. My initial struggles were with getting it running, mostly because I don't know much about tomcat and it didn't just work for me as documented, but once i stumbled through it was ok. My search results accross 200k documents is instant on a small 512mb rackspacecloud instance so you will have no probs at all using solr for your needs.

Re: Solr and Php Question
Hi mate, I'm a php Dev. Try zend server community edition from zend. Install is easy and comes with most things u need and may solve this for you. Centos is always a bit behind for stability reasons. Zs also has lots of other goodies. Personally I use a php library rather than a php extension so has no dependencies and no installation needed and I can read their source and extend it to suit my needs. There's a few php libraries around for solr. Phpmyadmin can run under php 5.3, but personally I just use mysql client.
