Thank you! :) Simply put, there are two prime components here: 1. The recommendation engine (Myrrix, need to run a .jar file as a daemon, done. Easier than deploying Lucene) 2. Recommendation client (Myrrix has a rich Java API. My current code uses it to provide recommendations. The actual client-side Java API-using code is less than 150 LOC, minus a couple of classes that are injected into the Myrrix daemon.)
Now I have three options here: i) To write a PHP wrapper over (2) ii) I can expose (2) as a REST-based API which can be easily used from PHP code. iii) Completely replace (2) with PHP code. (i) and (ii) are feasible options. But (iii) would mean rewriting quite a large amount of code/functionality, that's already in the Java API, in PHP. And I can't see any gains from going with (iii) since it wouldn't really help deployment any more than (i) or (ii). I am a bit busy with my university exams; I will try to deploy this on a VPS, update the repo with some PHP code and a link to the demo, and share it here in a couple of days.
