PHP API for MarkLogic
---------------------

[](#php-api-for-marklogic)

MLPHP is a PHP API for MarkLogic that makes it easy to store documents, manage document metadata, and create sophisticated search queries on a web server running PHP (version 5.4 or greater). The PHP classes communicate with the MarkLogic via the [MarkLogic REST API](http://developer.marklogic.com/learn/rest).

After installing MLPHP (see below), you can load documents into MarkLogic with just a couple lines of PHP code:

```
use MarkLogic\MLPHP;

$document = new MLPHP\Document($client);
$document->setContentFile('myfile.xml')->write('/myfile.xml');

```

Searching is just as easy:

```
use MarkLogic\MLPHP;

$search = new MLPHP\Search($client);
$results = $search->retrieve('cat');

```

More details are available in the examples described below.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

- [MarkLogic 7 or later](http://developer.marklogic.com/products). Download the server, start it, and request a free [Developer or Express license](http://developer.marklogic.com/licensing) directly from the Admin UI on port 8001.
- PHP 5.4-or-later-enabled web server (e.g., Apache running PHP) with the following extension libraries (typically available by default)
    - DOM
    - cURL
    - XSL
- [MLPHP](https://github.com/marklogic/mlphp)
- [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

Installation

}

```

And then, depending on how you installed Composer, run

```

### Building

[](#building)

```
% git clone git@github.com:marklogic/mlphp mlphp
% cd mlphp
% composer install

```

### To generate a clean set of new API docs from source

[](#to-generate-a-clean-set-of-new-api-docs-from-source)

1. Update master branch

    ```
     % cd $PATH_TO_MLPHP/mlphp/api/docs
     % git rm -rf *
     % cd $PATH_TO_MLPHP/mlphp/
     % vendor/bin/phpdoc mlphp.ini
     % cd $PATH_TO_MLPHP/mlphp/api/docs
     % git add .
     % git commit -a -m "New docs"
     % git push origin master

    ```
2. Update gh-pages copy (Technique borrowed from )

    ```
     % cd $PATH_TO_MLPHP/mlphp/api

    ```

    If this is the first time,

    ```
     % git clone -b gh-pages \
         --single-branch git@github.com:marklogic/mlphp docs-ghpages

    ```

    Then...

    ```
     % cd $PATH_TO_MLPHP/mlphp/api/docs-ghpages
     % git rm -rf [a-z]*
     % cd $PATH_TO_MLPHP/mlphp
     % vendor/bin/phpdoc mlphp-ghpages.ini
     % cd PATH_TO_MLPHP/mlphp/api/docs-ghpages
     % git add .
     % git commit -a -m "New docs"
     % git push origin gh-pages

    ```

### Unit tests

[](#unit-tests)

Unit tests can be found under `tests`. To run,

1. Edit `phpunit-config.php` and set configuration variables specific to your MarkLogic setup.
2. Run the tests:

    ```
     % vendor/bin/phpunit tests

    ```

MLPHP uses [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de) for testing. See the tests [README.md](https://github.com/marklogic/mlphp/blob/dev/tests/README.md) for more.
