Changes between v0.9.0 and current

[ianpiper]

I have a program that is working using v0.9.0, but if I install the latest version 1.1 I think) it fails. I've been trying to find out why, and I think it is because of the way the SPARQL endpoint is constructed. My code has this (which worked with v0.9.0):

$sparql = new EasyRdf_Sparql_Client('https://[myserver]/[path]');

The docs for the current version suggest this:

$sparql = new \EasyRdf\Sparql\Client('http://dbpedia.org/sparql');

Am I reading this right? If I install the latest version, is this the only change in the way EasyRDF works? I've been looking for a list of changes, but can't find anything.

One other question. I have another script that currently uses ARC2. I'd like to repurpose it to use EasyRDF instead. One issue I have with the current script is that it needs to POST a block of text. The script fails if the block is more than about 4K characters. I suspect that this might be a limitation of ARC2, but I wanted to ask whether I'm likely to run into similar issues if I POST more than this amount of text using EasyRDF.

Thanks for any guidance.

Can you give us more information about your code and environment (PHP version, other libraries in use etc.)? Also, what fails? Is there an error message?

Have a look at https://github.com/easyrdf/easyrdf/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md for changes since 0.9.0.

OK, I have worked out where I was going wrong. I was using v 1.11 but with the older style code for generating a sparql endpoint. I have it all working now.

I'd still be interested in knowing whether there is a limit to the size of POSTed content with EasyRDF (as I say, when I used ARC2 for this it failed with character counts above about 4000.

I can't answer that. Maybe @njh or @indeyets?

The big change was that version 1.0.0 uses proper PHP name spacing (added in PHP 5.3.0) - so you must change old code from EasyRdf_Sparql_Client to \EasyRdf\Sparql\Client.

I am not aware of any size limit in the HTTP client / SPARQL client. It is basically just passing strings around.
But it is possible that it is hitting some kind of PHP limit somewhere.
