How to use SphinxSearch with PHP?

// plain

SphinxSearch is a full-text search engine written in C++. It can be used with PHP to provide fast and powerful search capabilities.

To use SphinxSearch with PHP, you need to install the Sphinx PHP extension.

Once the extension is installed, you can use the following code to connect to the SphinxSearch server:

$sphinx = new SphinxClient();
$sphinx->SetServer('localhost', 9312);

You can then use the Query() method to execute a search query:

$result = $sphinx->Query('search query');

The $result variable will contain an array of results, with each result containing the document ID and the relevance score.
