Index data with Solr PHP Client - php

Question

I'm using the Solr PHP Client and have the Solr 4.3.0 example up and running. I have not modified the schema.xml file. When I run this code I get a 400 error:
Uncaught exception 'Apache_Solr_HttpTransportException' with message '400' Status: Bad Request.'
The document does not show up in the index. Interestingly, If I restart Jetty, the document is indexed. Here's my code. I was wondering if I'm missing something. I thought this was an issue with my input matching the schema, but id seems to be the only required field and these other fields are in the schema. I'm not sure what to do.
require_once('SolrPhpClient/Apache/Solr/Service.php');
$solr = new Apache_Solr_Service('localhost', 8983, '/solr/');
if($solr->ping() == null){
die('could not ping solr');
}
$document = new Apache_Solr_Document();
$document->id = 'guid1';
$document->title = 'Title1';
$document->subject = 'The subject is solr';
$document->description = 'This is the description';
$solr->addDocument($document);
$solr->commit();
The full error message I get is
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Apache_Solr_HttpTransportException' with message ''400' Status: Bad Request' in C:\xampp\htdocs\dev\SolrPhpClient\Apache\Solr\Service.php:364
Stack trace:

Answer 1

This is a known issue with Solr 4.x and calling commit from the Solr PHP Client. Please see
Bug #62332 - As of solr 4.0 the waitFlush parameter is removed for commit for the details and a patch to fix the issue.

Answer 2

That is what how I got the solution, I modified commit method. Added '&commit=true' to the _updateurl variable.
public function commit($expungeDeletes = false, $waitFlush = true, $waitSearcher = true, $timeout = 3600)
{
$expungeValue = $expungeDeletes ? 'true' : 'false';
$flushValue = $waitFlush ? 'true' : 'false';
$searcherValue = $waitSearcher ? 'true' : 'false';
//$rawPost = '<commit expungeDeletes="' . $expungeValue . '" waitFlush="' . $flushValue . '" waitSearcher="' . $searcherValue . '" />';
//$this->post=$rawPost;
return $this->_sendRawGet($this->_updateUrl.'&commit=true', $timeout);
}

Answer 3

You have change this line.
require_once('SolrPhpClient/Apache/Solr/Service.php'); => require_once('Service.php');
Maybe Service.php this file's path wrong. I try to changed this line. Then work successfully.

Answer 4

I had the same issue because I have installed an old version of the PHP Solr extension (0.9.11).
To get a the latest one:
pecl download solr-beta
tar xvzf solr-2.1.0.tgz # This can be different depending on the last release number
cd solr-2.1.0/
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
# add extension=solr.so to your php.ini / distribution extension loader
Thanks to this post.
