[Xapian-discuss] PHP Binding and dbi2omega questions

[Ross Lawley]

Hi All,

I've installed Xapian and the php module.  I've set up a script for use with
scriptindex and dbi2omega for getting data from the db into the index
easily, the script file is as follows:

===============================
id : field=id
title : index
title: field=title
description : index
description : truncate=50 field=content
=============================


However, when querying the xapian database using the php xapian bindings
like so:

<?php
    include "xapian.php";
    // Open our xapian database
    $db = Xapian::auto_open('/usr/local/lib/omega/data/default');
    $enq = new XapianEnquire($db);
    // Query for "php" or "mysql"
    $enq->set_query(new XapianQuery(XapianQuery::OP_OR, "php", "mysql"));
    // lets grab the matches!
    $mset = $enq->get_mset(0, 10);
    // output how many estimated
    echo 'Matches: '.$mset->get_matches_estimated().'<br/>';
    // Output the terms that matched
    $terms = join(' ', $enq->get_matching_terms($mset->get_hit(0)));
    echo 'TERMS: '.$terms.'<br/>';

     // Loop the matches and output some data..
    for ($i = $mset->begin(); !$i->equals($mset->end()); $i->next()) {
        echo '<hr/> Document ID '.$i->get_docid().'<br/>';
        echo $i->get_percent().'% <br/>';
        $doc = $i->get_document();
        echo $doc->get_data();
    }
?>

The echo $doc->get_data() output is as follows:

content=blah blah blah id=1 title=My Title

Is that data accessible via xapian bindings directly i.e. $data->content or
$data->title?  Or is my scriptindex wrong or is it my approach that is
flawed?

The examples with PHP are quite limited, but basically I want to have a few
meta data items to be avaliable for output when a search finds an item.  Is
that possible?
