Problem using curl in PHP to get Solr results
I finally figured out how to use curl to GET results, i.e. just turn all spaces into '%20' in my type of queries. I'm using solar spatial, and then searching in both the default text field and a couple of columns. Works fine on in the browser. But if I query for it using curl in PHP, there's an error somewhere in the JSON. I don't know if it's in the PHP food chain or something else. Just putting my solution to GETing from curl in PHP and my problem up here, for others to find. Of course, if anyone knows the answer, all the better.

Re: Problem using curl in PHP to get Solr results
Forgive me if this seems like a dumb question but have you tried the Apache_Solr_Service class? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-php-apachesolr/index.html It's really quite good at handling the nuts and bolts of making the HTTP requests and decoding the responses for PHP. I almost always use it when working from PHP. It's all over Google so I don't know how someone would miss it but I don't know why else someone would bother curling a GET to SOLR otherwise. -- Steve On Dec 15, 2010, at 4:22 AM, Dennis Gearon wrote: I finally figured out how to use curl to GET results, i.e. just turn all spaces into '%20' in my type of queries.

Re: Problem using curl in PHP to get Solr results
I want to just pass the JSON through after qualifying the user's access to the site. Didn't want to spend the horse power to receive it as PHP array syntax, run the risk of someone putting bad stuff in the contents and running 'exec()' on it, and then spending the extra horsepower to putput it as json. I had that page up in the browwser to look at it later. If it deons't do the above, I will be glad to have the Solr access abstracted, thanks :-) Dennis Gearon Signature Warning It is always a good idea to learn from your own mistakes.

Re: Problem using curl in PHP to get Solr results
Hi You could use Solr's php serialized object output (wt=phps) and then convert it to json in your php: ?php echo json_encode(unserialize($results_from_solr)); ?

Re: Problem using curl in PHP to get Solr results
The GeoDistanceComponent triggers the problem. It may be an issue in the component but it could very well be a Solr issue. It seems you missed a very recent thread on this one. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2278 I finally figured out how to use curl to GET results, i.e. just turn all spaces into '%20' in my type of queries.

Re: Problem using curl in PHP to get Solr results
well, it was three problems: 1/ I was saving the file as a 'complete web page', uknowingly, from firefox. 2/ I had a small message for troubleshooting being spit out after the json. 3/ My partner had output all the spatial solr 'tiers' information, and there's a binary value in there that stops all the JSON viewer plugins for firefox from going past it. At this point, PHP *AND* the firefox plugins consider the json to be valid, but the plugin won't display past a character with value 0x007F. Or at least, that's what the browser is displaying in a box at thatpoint. Dennis Gearon Signature Warning It is always a good idea to learn from your own mistakes.
