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 CouchbaseCluster('192.168.7.26');
$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.

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 CPDSN, CPBUCKET, CPUSER, CPPASS. E.g. CPDSN=couchbase://192.168.1.42/ CPBUCKET=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+
