[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a932ffd669728cb5f1fec04cdda3c503c7c4e9591ba5ba5e08a15bc584382b0b/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f677261706861776172652f6e656f346a2d626f6c742d7068702e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/graphaware/neo4j-bolt-php)

### References :

[](#references-)

- PHP Client embedding Bolt along with the http driver (recommended way of using Neo4j in PHP) :
- Neo4j 3.0 :

### Requirements:

[](#requirements)

- PHP5.6+
- Neo4j3.0
- PHP Sockets extension available
- `bcmath` extension
- `mbstring` extension

### Installation

[](#installation)

Require the package in your dependencies :

```
composer require graphaware/neo4j-bolt
```

### Setting up a driver and creating a session

[](#setting-up-a-driver-and-creating-a-session)

```
use GraphAware\Bolt\GraphDatabase;

$driver = GraphDatabase::driver("bolt://localhost");
$session = $driver->session();
```

### Sending a Cypher statement

[](#sending-a-cypher-statement)

```
$session = $driver->session();
$session->run("CREATE (n)");
$session->close();

// with parameters :

$session->run("CREATE (n) SET n += {props}", ['name' => 'Mike', 'age' => 27]);
```

### Empty Arrays

[](#empty-arrays)

Due to lack of Collections types in php, there is no way to distinguish when an empty array should be treated as equivalent Java List or Map types.

Therefore you can use a wrapper around arrays for type safety :

```
use GraphAware\Common\Collections;

        $query = 'MERGE (n:User {id: {id} })
        WITH n
        UNWIND {friends} AS friend
        MERGE (f:User {id: friend.name})
        MERGE (f)-[:KNOWS]->(n)';

        $params = ['id' => 'me', 'friends' => Collections::asList([])];
        $this->getSession()->run($query, $params);

// Or

        $query = 'MERGE (n:User {id: {id} })
        WITH n
        UNWIND {friends}.users AS friend
        MERGE (f:User {id: friend.name})
        MERGE (f)-[:KNOWS]->(n)';

        $params = ['id' => 'me', 'friends' => Collections::asMap([])];
        $this->getSession()->run($query, $params);
```

### TLS Encryption

[](#tls-encryption)

In order to enable TLS support, you need to set the configuration option to `REQUIRED`, here an example :

```
$config = \GraphAware\Bolt\Configuration::newInstance()
    ->withCredentials('bolttest', 'L7n7SfTSj0e6U')
    ->withTLSMode(\GraphAware\Bolt\Configuration::TLSMODE_REQUIRED);

$driver = \GraphAware\Bolt\GraphDatabase::driver('bolt://hobomjfhocgbkeenl.dbs.graphenedb.com:24786', $config);
$session = $driver->session();
```
