Does PHP/YAZ support the 'opac' record syntax?

Hi,

Can anyone confirm that PHP/YAZ (version 1.0.7) supports
returning 
records in the OPAC record syntax? I can get records back
from my target 
using the yaz-client:

...
505 21 $t The brick funnel $p P.85.
505 21 $t Sunday on a country river $p P.86.
505 21 $t Ripe in the arbours of the nose $p P.87.
505 21 $t The weatherproof jungle tree $p P.89.
505 21 $t Jet propulsion stereo $p P.90.
505 21 $t Industrial relations $p P.91.
907    $a .b50888900
Data holdings 0
localLocation: In Process Book
callNumber: No Call Number
publicNote: IN LIBRARY
nextResultSetPosition = 2
Elapsed: 0.023623

However, my php script on the same machine, using
yaz_syntax($id, 
'opac') [(also tried yaz_syntax($id,
"1.2.840.10003.5.102")] and 
yaz_record($id, $p, "string") produces the
following output:

...
505 21 $t The brick funnel $p P.85.
505 21 $t Sunday on a country river $p P.86.
505 21 $t Ripe in the arbours of the nose $p P.87.
505 21 $t The weatherproof jungle tree $p P.89.
505 21 $t Jet propulsion stereo $p P.90.
505 21 $t Industrial relations $p P.91.
907    $a .b50888900

As you can see, records that the script returns do not
contain the 
holdings/location/etc. data. I've also tried
'yaz_record($id, $p, "xml; 
charset=marc-8,utf-8")' with similar results. My script
has no problem 
retrieving records using 'yaz_syntax($id,
"usmarc")'.

TIA,

Mark

You should be able to use
   yaz_record($id, $p, "opac");
to get the record as MARCXML + OPAC elements.

Right now I don't see why "opac" should be
needed.. "xml" ought to work 
for this too. So we should allow this in a future version.

Hi Adam,

Using 'yaz_record($id, $p, "opac");' produces the
following error:

"PHP Warning:  yaz_record(): Bad yaz_record type opac -
or unable to 
return record with type given in
/var/www/html/opac/findtest.php on line 72"

Line 72 in my script is " $rec = yaz_record($id, $p,
"opac");"

Hi Adam,

I'd like to pick up our thread from last month on support
for opac 
record syntax in PHP/YAZ. Using 'opac' as a parameter to
yaz_record, as 
you suggested, results in a 'bad yaz_record type' error as
documented 
below. I was able to return records in opac syntax from the
target in 
yaz-client.

The reason I'd like to verify if YAZ/PHP supports this
syntax is that 
I'm developing a PHP OPAC client (demo at 
http://kubric
k.no-ip.info/opac/opac.php) that I plan to release under
a 
public domain license, mainly as an example to other
developers rather 
than a production client. Returning circ/status info is the
last 
outstanding feature required to make my client a complete,
basic OPAC.

Thanks,

Mark

Jordan,

the "opac" for yaz_record ought to work. We've
been using this in 
production for quite some time. Remember that yaz_record
also fails if 
the script did not retrieve an OPAC from the target.
Obviously it does 
when you use yaz-client.

Attached is a sample script which gets OPAC records from the
LoC target.

It could be that your PHP installation is using an old
version of YAZ / 
PHP-YAZ which does not support OPAC retrieval via the ZOOM
API.

Adam, thank you very much for the example. It does work for
me now. I 
was using 'opac' as the syntax type in yaz_record but not
yaz_syntax. I 
am getting back opac records now that I'm using that syntax
type in both 
places.

Thanks again,

Mark
