Help with PHP wrapper for _suggest query

kevins · November 4, 2013, 6:10pm

I am using this simple constructor class for PHP calls to ES.

hasantayyar/elasticsearch-php/blob/master/ElasticSearch.php

<?php
/**
 * @desc elastic search helper
 */
class ElasticSearch {

    public $index;

    function __construct($server = 'http://localhost:9200') {
        $this->server = $server;
    }

    function call($path, $http = array()) {
        echo "GETTING ".$this->server . '/' . $this->index . '/' . $path, NULL, stream_context_create(array('http' => $http));
        if (!$this->index)
            throw new Exception('$this->index needs a value');
        return json_decode(file_get_contents($this->server . '/' . $this->index . '/' . $path, NULL, stream_context_create(array('http' => $http))));
    }

    //curl -X PUT http://localhost:9200/{INDEX}/

This file has been truncated. show original

I am trying to add a stub for the following suggest query:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_suggest' -d '{
"my-suggestion" : {
"text" : "the amsterdma meetpu",
"term" : {
"field" : "body"
}
}
}'

Which is seen here:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters.html

What I get back is 404's from ES saying exists:"false"

Here is the code I am trying:

//curl -X GET http://localhost:9200/{INDEX}/{TYPE}/_suggest?q= ...
function suggest($type, $q, $size=5) {

    $suggestion = array('my-suggestion' => array('text' => $q,'term' =>array

('size' => $size, 'field' => 'title')));
return $this->call($type . '/_suggest?' . http_build_query(
$suggestion));

I don't believe the Suggest endpoint supports q parameters, you'll need
to send a request body instead. The best way to debug it is to print out
the URI and body before the curl request is network request is made, then
see if that runs as a curl command. Adjust as necessary to make the curl
work, then translate back to PHP.

Related, there is an official Elasticsearch-PHP client in case you didn't
know about it. The client supports the full
API: GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-php: Official PHP client for Elasticsearch.
