I need to import a lot of data as individual json file to elasticsearch . I use this code

```
$re = "select * from tweecoms limit 10";
    $r = $Acc->Select($re);
$i=0;
while ($k = $r->fetch()) {
    $json_doc[] = array(
        "association_key" => $k['id'],
        "text" => $k['text']
    );        
}
    $json_doc= json_encode($json_doc);
    //var_dump($json_doc);exit();
$baseUri = 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/myindex2/tweecoms2/_bulk';
    $ci = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_URL, $baseUri);
    curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_PORT, $search_port);
    curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 200);
    curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, 0);
    curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
    curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_doc);
    echo curl_exec($ci);
    curl_close($ci);

```

How i can send my `$json_doc` to elasticsearch ?

And whats the link i went use to do this `$baseUri`

English is not my native language, sorry for any mistakes.

Is this PHP? If so you're better off using the [PHP client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/current/index.html) rather than rolling your own curl commands.
