Elastic Enterprise Search Client for PHP
========================================

[](#elastic-enterprise-search-client-for-php)

Warning

**Enterprise Search will be discontinued in 9.0.**

Starting with Elastic version 9.0, the standalone Enterprise Search products, will no longer be included in our offering. They remain supported in their current form in version 8.x and will only receive security upgrades and fixes. Enterprise Search clients will continue to be supported in their current form throughout 8.x versions, according to our EOL policy: We recommend transitioning to our actively developed Elastic Stack () tools for your search use cases. However, if you're still using any Enterprise Search products, we recommend using the latest stable release of the clients.

Here are some useful links with more information:

- Enterprise Search FAQ:
- Migrating to 9.x from Enterprise Search 8.x versions:

A first-party PHP client to interface with [Elastic Enterpise Search](https://www.elastic.co/enterprise-search)including [Elastic App Search](https://www.elastic.co/app-search/) and [Elastic Workplace Search](https://www.elastic.co/workplace-search).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The package can be installed using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require elastic/enterprise-search
```

The version follows the Elastic Stack version so `8.0` is compatible with Enterprise Search released in Elastic Stack 8.0.

PSR-18 HTTP library
-------------------

[](#psr-18-http-library)

This project uses `elastic-transport-php` as HTTP library. This is a component that abstracts the usage of any PSR-18 client libraries. It uses the autodiscovery feature of [HTTPlug](http://httplug.io/)to find a compliant library already installed in your `vendor`. If you receive an error like `No PSR-18 clients found` this means you don't have any PSR-18 library installed. We suggest to use [Guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle) v7+ as HTTP library. You can require it using composer:

```
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

```

If you want to be sure to use a specific HTTP library you need to pass it in the `Client`constructor, as follows:

```
use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'client' => new GuzzleHttp\Client,
   // ...
]);
```

### Guzzle v6

[](#guzzle-v6)

If you want to use Guzzle v6, you need to add the [php-http/guzzle6-adapter](https://github.com/php-http/guzzle6-adapter)as composer requirement.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

[See the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search-clients/php) for how to get started, compatibility info, configuring, and an API reference.
