CLXI. YAZ Functions

简介

This extension offers a PHP interface to the YAZ toolkit that implements the Z39.50 Protocol for Information Retrieval. With this extension you can easily implement a Z39.50 origin (client) that searches or scans Z39.50 targets (servers) in parallel.

The module hides most of the complexity of Z39.50 so it should be fairly easy to use. It supports persistent stateless connections very similar to those offered by the various RDB APIs that are available for PHP. This means that sessions are stateless but shared among users, thus saving the connect and initialize phase steps in most cases.

YAZ is available at http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/. You can find news information, example scripts, etc. for this extension at http://www.indexdata.dk/phpyaz/.

注: 本扩展已被移动到 PECL 库中且自以下版本起不再被绑定到 PHP 中:5.0.0.

安装

Compile YAZ (ANSI/NISO Z39.50 support) and install it. Build PHP with your favourite modules and add option --with-yaz[=DIR]. Your task is roughly the following:

例子 1. YAZ compilation

gunzip -c php-4.3.X.tar.gz|tar xf -
gunzip -c yaz-2.0.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd yaz-2.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
cd ../php-4.3.X.
./configure --with-yaz=/usr/bin
make
make install

If you are using YAZ as a shared extension, add (or uncomment) the following line in php.ini on Unix:
extension=php_yaz.so
And for Windows:
extension=php_yaz.dll

On Windows, php_yaz.dll depend on yaz.dll. You'll find yaz.dll in sub directory dlls in the Win32 zip archive. Copy yaz.dll to a directory in your PATH environment (c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system32).

警告

IMAP 扩展模块不能和 recode 扩展模块,YAZ 扩展模块以及 Cyrus 扩展模块同时使用。因为它们使用了相同的内部符号。

注: The above problem is solved in version 2.0 of YAZ.

运行时配置

这些函数的行为受 php.ini 的影响。

范例

PHP/YAZ keeps track of connections with targets (Z-Associations). A resource represents a connection to a target.

The script below demonstrates the parallel searching feature of the API. When invoked with no arguments it prints a query form; else (arguments are supplied) it searches the targets as given in array host.

例子 2. Parallel searching using Yaz

<?php
$host
=$_REQUEST[host];
$query=$_REQUEST[query];
$num_hosts = count($host);
if (empty(
$query) || count($host) == 0) {
    echo
'<form method="get">
    <input type="checkbox"
    name="host[]" value="bagel.indexdata.dk/gils" />
        GILS test
    <input type="checkbox"
    name="host[]" value="localhost:9999/Default" />
        local test
    <input type="checkbox" checked="checked"
    name="host[]" value="z3950.loc.gov:7090/voyager" />
        Library of Congress
    <br />
    RPN Query:
    <input type="text" size="30" name="query" />
    <input type="submit" name="action" value="Search" />
    </form>
    '
;        
} else {
    echo
'You searched for ' . htmlspecialchars($query) . '<br />';
    for (
$i = 0; $i < $num_hosts; $i++) {
        
$id[] = yaz_connect($host[$i]);
    
yaz_syntax($id[$i], "usmarc");
        
yaz_range($id[$i], 1, 10);
        
yaz_search($id[$i], "rpn", $query);
    }
    
yaz_wait();
    for (
$i = 0; $i < $num_hosts; $i++) {
        echo
'<hr />' . $host[$i] . ':';
        
$error = yaz_error($id[$i]);
        if (!empty(
$error)) {
            echo
"Error: $error";
        } else {
            
$hits = yaz_hits($id[$i]);
            echo
"Result Count $hits";
        }
        echo
'<dl>';
        for (
$p = 1; $p <= 10; $p++) {
            
$rec = yaz_record($id[$i], $p, "string");
            if (empty(
$rec)) continue;
            echo
"<dt><b>$p</b></dt><dd>";
            echo
nl2br($rec);
            echo
"</dd>";
        }
        echo
'</dl>';
    }
}
?>
