The documentation for get_mset seems to suggest that if you are going to include a matchdecider argument you also need an RSet value before it.

Hi !

Thanks for your answer, I try with a valid instance of Rset, and it's 
not working better.

It seems that Swig PHP Directors (converting PHP Objects to Cpp Objects) 
is not activated, because of a bug in Swig :
http://answerpot.com/showthread.php?441461-PHP+MatchDecider+in+1.2.0

"The only remaining issue seems to be that SWIG's PHP director support
doesn't handle directed methods which take an object as a parameter - the
subclassed method gets a PHP resource without its object wrapper."

So if PHP object is not converted, the instance in parameter is not 
correct (not a Cpp object), causing the error message of "No matching 
function".

I would like to know if this bug is fixed and if PHP Director can be 
actived in Xapian binding.

> I'm also unsure whether null is a valid value to pass in the checkatleast argument.  Since you want up to 3000 results, you might want to set that value to some number higher than 3000.
I don't undestand the last sentence.

Thanks a lot !
