Couchbase PHP client generally available through PECL: http://pecl.php.net/package/couchbase

pecl install couchbase

git clone git://github.com/couchbase/php-couchbase.git
cd php-couchbase
phpize
./configure --with-couchbase
make && make install

Introduction

Connecting to a Couchbase bucket is as simple as creating a new Connection instance. Once you are connect, you may execute any of Couchbases' numerous operations against this connection.

Here is a simple example of instantiating a connection, setting a new document into the bucket and then retrieving its contents:

$cluster = new \Couchbase\Cluster('localhost');
$db = $cluster->openBucket('default');
$db->upsert('testdoc', array('name'=>'Frank'));
$res = $db->get('testdoc');
var_dump($res->value);
// array(1) {
//   ["name"]=>
//   string(5) "Frank"
// }

Documentation

An extensive documentation is available on the Couchbase website. Visit our PHP Community on the Couchbase website for the documentation as well as numerous examples and samples.

To build PHP API reference, phpDocumentor have to be installed

pear channel-discover pear.phpdoc.org
pear install phpdoc/phpDocumentor

That will bring phpdoc command into PATH. The following steps assume that current directory is the root of this repository:

ver=$(git describe | sed 's/^v//')
rm -rf couchbase-php-client-$ver
phpdoc --target couchbase-php-client-$ver --directory api

After that all reference documentation will be stored in couchbase-php-client-2.3.0, if current tag is 2.3.0.

Source Control

The source code is available at https://github.com/couchbase/php-couchbase.

To execute our test suite, simply install and execute phpunit against your checked out source code. Tests assume that you have Couchbase Server with default bucket running on localhost (otherwise use environment variable CB_DSN, CB_ADMIN_USER, CB_ADMIN_PASSWORD, CB_BUCKET, CB_USER, CB_PASSWORD. E.g. CB_DSN=couchbase://192.168.1.42/ CB_BUCKET=travel-sample).

curl -L https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar > ~/bin/phpunit
chmod a+x ~/bin/phpunit
# or just 'dnf install php-phpunit-PHPUnit' on Fedora 24+

phpunit tests/

Integration tests require some prerequisites, so once they met, you can run integration tests with:

phpunit tests/
