Thread: Newbie question on yaz-php
Newbie question on yaz-php
user name
 2007-03-19 09:59:57 
I've been trying my hand at yaz via php.
I should say that I know nothing of yaz, and little of php.
Perhaps because of this, I have had no success.
Here is a sample php program.
Could some kind soul please tell me why I seem to get no
success?

I should say that I am testing this on a machine running
Fedora 6 Linux.

  $id = yaz_connect($host);
echo "Connected; ";
  yaz_syntax($id, "usmarc");
  yaz_range($id, 1, 10);
  yaz_search($id, "rpn", $query);
  yaz_wait();
  echo '<hr />' . $host . ':';
  $error = yaz_error($id);
  if (!empty($error)) {
    echo "Error: $error";

    $hits = yaz_hits($id);

A couple of comments.

Fedora 6 did not seem to have the yaz-php module
(as shown by the fact that it reported that 
the function yaz_connect() was unknown).
So I downloaded the source as yaz-1.0.8.tgz,
expanded it and ran "pecl build package.xml".

I don't really know if that is what one is meant to do,
but it seemed to work, in so far as there was no longer
a complaint that yaz_connect() was unknown.

Now when I browse to foo.php (the above file) on my
web-server
the program does not seem to get past the yaz_connect()
line.

If anyone has a simple program like this which works for
them,
I'd very much like to see it;
I didn't find any small examples of yaz-php usage
on a brief google search.

Are you sure that port 7090 is open for outward traffic? Can you
connect to the target using yaz-client?

Just a note to thank those who responded to my query.
In the end I found I had made two errors or omissions:

Firstly, when adding yaz/php to my php I should have said
	pecl install yaz
rather than saying "pecl build".

Secondly, I had to add the line
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on my server.
