How to set smart url in zend framework?

PHP: Zend Framework PHP implemention of Lucene or Solr for a API service?

  • I need of indexing a lot of data (mostly text). We offer these data in API mode (LAMP platform with PHP / MySQL) and exchange data in json format. I would like to use Solr search server, but I know that there is also an implementation of Lucene in the Zend PHP Framework. Anyone have experience with Solr or Lucene in the Zend PHP Framework? The goal is to obtain the best possible performance with fulltext queries type (database = around 1M records)

  • Answer:

    Use Solr. The Lucene implementation in ZF is okay for small sets of data, but not nearly as performant as the original Java implementation. Solr uses the Java implementation, and adds a bunch of features around it, of which caching will be quite important to your needs.

The latest versions of Solr already start to provide PHP response format http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolPHP#Solr.27s_PHP_response_format, which is ignored by many developers. According this test http://www.raspberry.nl/2012/02/28/benchmarking-php-solr-response-data-handling/, it's the easiest and efficient way to connect PHP with Solr.  You just need several lines PHP codes like this. $serializedResult = file_get_contents('http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=iPod&wt=phps'); $result = unserialize($serializedResult); print_r($result);

At Magento we ran a few tests with the ZF implementation and found that performance was not good on medium to large data sets.
