As Silex is discontinued, so is this project. It will not receive udpates or fixes.

This repository contains a Silex service provider which provides Apache Solr version 4 or 5 connectivity for Silex 1.2+, via the PHP Solr extension v2.

The preferred way to install this library is through Composer. For this, add "bluem/silex-solr-provider": "~1.0" (for Silex 1.2+) or "bluem/silex-solr-provider": "~2.0@dev" (for Silex2@dev) respectively to the requirements in your composer.json file. As this library uses semantic versioning, you will get fixes and feature additions when running composer update, but not changes which break the API.

Alternatively, you can clone the repository using git or download a tagged release. As with the Composer-based installation, you have to pay attention to the Silex version: when using Silex 1.2+, you will need a 1.* release of the service provider, and for Silex 2, you will need dev-master.

To make Silex aware of the provider, add this to your app.php:

$app->register(new BlueM\Silex\Provider\SolrServiceProvider());

You can define Solr settings such as the hostname in the usual Silex way in config/prod.php and config/dev.php.

Example:

$app['solr.hostname'] = '127.0.0.1';
$app['solr.path']     = 'solr/core0';

You can use all options which the SolrClient class constructor accepts. For a list, see http://php.net/manual/en/solrclient.construct.php. Please note that SolrClient does not accept an empty options array, wich means you have to provide at least 1 option, otherwise you will get an exception.

Another (IMHO less recommendable way) is to pass the options as 2nd argument to Silex\Application when registering the provider:

$app->register(
    new BlueM\Silex\Provider\SolrServiceProvider(),
    ['solr.hostname' => '127.0.0.1']
);

In either case, you can use a different string (instead of “solr”) as configuration key prefix by passing this string as argument to the provider’s constructor. This comes also in handy when multiple cores are needed:

// In app.php:
$app->register(new BlueM\Silex\Provider\SolrServiceProvider('solr-core0'));
$app->register(new BlueM\Silex\Provider\SolrServiceProvider('solr-core1'));

// In config/prod.php:
$app['solr-core0.hostname'] = '127.0.0.1';
$app['solr-core0.path']     = 'solr/core0';
$app['solr-core1.hostname'] = '127.0.0.1';
$app['solr-core1.path']     = 'solr/core1';

// In your project code:
$app['solr-core0']->doSomethingWithCore0();
$app['solr-core1']->doSomethingWithCore1();
