CLXXXIII. YAZ Functions
Wstęp
This extension offers a PHP interface to the YAZ toolkit that implements the Z39.50 Protocol for Information Retrieval. With this extension you can easily implement a Z39.50 origin (client) that searches or scans Z39.50 targets (servers) in parallel.
The module hides most of the complexity of Z39.50 so it should be fairly easy to use. It supports persistent stateless connections very similar to those offered by the various RDB APIs that are available for PHP. This means that sessions are stateless but shared among users, thus saving the connect and initialize phase steps in most cases.
YAZ is available at https://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/. You can find news information, example scripts, etc. for this extension at https://www.indexdata.dk/phpyaz/.
Notatka: To rozszerzenie zostało przeniesione do repozytorium PECL i nie jest rozprowadzane z PHP od wersji 5.0.0.
Instalacja
Obtain YAZ (ANSI/NISO Z39.50 support) and install it. YAZ can be fetched in source or in various prebuilt packages from the YAZ archive. Systems such as Debian GNU/Linux, Suse Linux, FreeBSD also has YAZ as part of their distribution.
For the PHP 4 series, the YAZ extension is bundled (but not YAZ itself)
Build PHP with your favorite modules and add option
--with-yaz[=DIR]
.
For PHP 5, the YAZ extension is in PECL and is installed as a shared object/dll. If you have pear installed the easiest way to download, configure and install the YAZ extension is by using the pear command.
On Windows, php_yaz.dll depend on yaz.dll. The yaz.dll is part of the Win32 ZIP from the PHP site. It is also part of the Windows YAZ install available from the YAZ WIN32 area.
Ostrzeżenie |
The PHP 5.0.5 Win32 zip includes a too old version of yaz.dll (version 1.9.1 < required version 2.0.13). If that's the case use the yaz.dll from a newer YAZ WIN32 install. |
On windows, don't forget to add the PHP directory to the PATH, so that the yaz.dll file can be found by the system.
If you are using YAZ as a shared extension, add (or uncomment) the following line in php.ini on Unix:
extension=yaz.so |
extension=php_yaz.dll |
Ostrzeżenie |
Rozszerzenia IMAP, recode, YAZ i Cyrus nie mogą być używane razem. Dzieje się tak z powodu współdzielenia tego samego symbolu wewnętrznego. |
Notatka: The above problem is solved in version 2.0 of YAZ.
