Burak,
what's wrong with the existing PHP-Extension
(http://php.net/manual/en/book.solr.php)?
I think "wrong" is not the appropriate word here. But if I had to
summarize why I wrote this API:
* Not everybody is enthusiastic about adding another item to an already
long list of server dependencies. I just wanted a pure PHP option.
* I am not a C programmer either so the ability to understand the source
code and modify it according to my needs is another advantage.
* Yes, a PECL package would be faster. However, in 99% of the cases,
after everything is said, coded, and byte-code cached, my biggest
bottlenecks end up being the database and network.
* Last of all, choice is what open source means to me.
