I believe that any high-level integration work like that would pull a large amount of focus away from Solr itself. There are lots of people inventing that wheel. The nature of the work produces a highly customized wheel that requires further customization or a complete rewrite to work with a different project. There are at least three Solr client packages for PHP, which will let a LAMP project integrate with Solr. In no particular order, these are the ones I know about: https://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/ http://pecl.php.net/package/solr http://www.solarium-project.org/ Solr supports importing from a database, which can be MySQL, but better results can be obtained by writing an indexing client yourself, where you can manipulate the data in any way you choose. That could be in PHP like the rest of the stack being discussed here, or it could be written in another language. I *do* think it might be a good idea for us to write and maintain supported Solr clients for languages beyond Java -- work at a low level of integration instead of a high level. I personally don't have the kind of expertise required, but the expertise is out there. The others might not agree with this, and I won't stand in the way of the idea you've described if others want to pursue it.
