Inspired by: CouchRest library for Ruby and the couchdb-python library.

Server Functions

1. Specify a server:
   $server = new SetteeServer('http://127.0.0.1:5984');
2. Database API
   1. Create a database:
      $ret = $server->create_db('irakli_test');
   2. Drop a database:
      $ret = $server->drop_db('irakli_test');
   3. List all databases:
      $ret = $server->list_dbs();
   4. Get a database object
      $db = $server->get_db('irakli_test');
3. Document API
   1. Create/Update a document:
      $ret = $db->save($doc);
   2. Retrieve a document:
      $db_doc = $db->get($id);
   3. Determine the latest revision_id for a document:
      $rev = $db->get_rev($id);
   4. Delete a document:
      $db_doc = $db->delete($doc);
4. Attachments API
   1. Add content as attachment:
      $db->add_attachment($doc, "foo.txt", "Some text that will be base64 encoded", "text/plain");
   2. Add a file path to be attached:
      $db->add_attachment_file($doc, "foo.pdf", $file_path, "application/pdf");
   3. Add a file path to be attached (mime-type is auto-detected):
      $db->add_attachment_file($doc, "foo.pdf", $file_path);
   4. Full attachment saving example:
      $doc = new stdClass();
      $doc→id = “attachment_doc”;
      $file_path = dirname(_FILE__) . “/resources/couch-logo.pdf”;
      $this→db→add_attachment_file($doc, “foo.pdf”, $file_path, “application/pdf”);
      $db_doc = $this→db→save($doc);
   5. ATTENTION: there is no “load_attachments” method, because when you load a document, all its attachments get loaded with it, as well.
5. Views API
   1. Create a new view or save a view:
      $view = $db->save_view("some_design_document_id", "a_view_name", $map_src);
$view = $db->save_view("some_design_document_id", "a_view_name", $map_src, $reduce_src);
   2. Get a view (run query and get results):
      $view = $db->get_view("some_design_document_id", "a_view_name");
   3. Parametrized view:
      $view = $db->get_view("some_design_document_id", "a_view_name", "2009/02/17 21:13:39");
   4. Parametrized view with key range:
      $view = $db->get_view("some_design_document_id", "a_view_name", array("2009/01/30 18:04:11", "2009/02/17 21:13:39"));
   5. Parametrized view with key range, ordered descending:
      $view = $db->get_view("some_design_document_id", "a_view_name", array("2009/01/30 18:04:11", "2009/02/17 21:13:39"), true);
