Does the PHP client support this? Are there any examples of using an indexed script within the query request? All the examples in documentation I can find are inline.

### Code

```php
$scriptScore = new \stdClass(); 
$scriptScore->script = "return _score";
$query = array(
      'function_score' => array(
            'functions' => array(
               array("script_score" => $scriptScore)
            ),
            'query' => $query_string,
         'score_mode' => 'sum',
         'boost_mode' => 'replace'
        )
  );
$params['body']['query'] = $query;

```

The above inline script works and the query results are returned.  
However using a similar method for an indexed script does not work:

```php
$scriptScore = new \stdClass();
$scriptScore->script->id = "indexedScript";
$scriptScore->script->lang = "groovy";
$query = array(
      'function_score' => array(
            'functions' => array(
               array("script_score" => $scriptScore)
            ),
            'query' => $query_string,
         'score_mode' => 'sum',
         'boost_mode' => 'replace'
        )
  );
$params['body']['query'] = $query;

```

$query\_string is set to bool, with match and should queries.  
The ES cluster does have all indexed scripts enabled.  
I'm using v. 1.7.5, php v. 5.6
