docs(backend): Add PHP backend example

[pixelastic]

This adds a code example on how to use initPlaces() with the PHP API
Client to do a Places call. I think it only works with registered
account, I could not make it work without credentials.

Deploy preview ready!

Built with commit 80fb098

I think this has to be called like:

$places->search($query);

No need for the json_encode.
See: https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-php/blob/master/src/AlgoliaSearch/Index.php#L507

[pixelastic]

Ok, just pushed a simplification.

[raphi]

@rayrutjes any idea why it's not working without credentials? Def works using the REST API directly

[pixelastic]

@raphi: I had an error trying to call initPlaces() without appId and apiKey. Same for instanciating the client.

[rayrutjes]

So we just tested it with @raphi , here is the code:

// Without credentials.
$places = \AlgoliaSearch\Client::initPlaces();
$results = $places->search('Paris');

var_dump($results);

// With credentials.
$places = \AlgoliaSearch\Client::initPlaces($appId, $apiKey);
$results = $places->search('Paris');

var_dump($results);

Beware that the credential-less solution needs a fix in the client to work because currently it does scream when no credentials are provided.

Are we good on the php example?

I would also like to add a JavaScript one (I thought we had it already):

var algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');
var places = algoliasearch.initPlaces(/*appId, apiKey*/);
places.search();

[rayrutjes]

@vvo your signature is the one I'm going for in the PHP Client. Gogogogo ;)

[raphi]

@rayrutjes but I think we need to update the php example committed here right?

[rayrutjes]

Yes, this should not be merged yet. I'm about to PR the support of the different snippets I shared. Let's wait until that is merged.

[rayrutjes]

We need to refactor the PHP examples.
Then we need to wait for PR to support empty credentials.
Should be OK in a few.

[rayrutjes]

@pixelastic I released the new PHP API Client (1.18.0) and updated the snippets accordingly.
Feel free to adjust from here ;)

Update: I did check the rendered value and it looks OK to me.

[raphi]

👍 LGTM thanks @rayrutjes !!

[raphi]

@pixelastic should we include examples for all our regular doc languages?

[pixelastic]

That would be awesome I'd say. But I'm 'it sure all the API Client allow instantiating a Places account.

I think only JavaScript and PHP are supported no? I will add one for JavaScript

[vvo]

Changed a bit and added JS, good to merge I think

[rayrutjes]

Is this line commented out on purpose?

[vvo]

Yes but maybe not obvious why: client can be used in nodejs,browser with npm or scripts

[raphi]

thanks guys
