PHP low level Driver for Neo4j's Bolt Remoting Protocol

References :

PHP Client embedding Bolt along with the http driver (recommended way of using Neo4j in PHP) : https://github.com/graphaware/neo4j-php-client
Neo4j 3.0 : http://neo4j.com/docs

Requirements:

PHP5.6+
Neo4j3.0
PHP Sockets extension available
bcmath extension
mbstring extension

Installation

Require the package in your dependencies :

composer require graphaware/neo4j-bolt

Setting up a driver and creating a session

use GraphAware\Bolt\GraphDatabase;

$driver = GraphDatabase::driver("bolt://localhost");
$session = $driver->session();

Sending a Cypher statement

$session = $driver->session();
$session->run("CREATE (n)");
$session->close();

// with parameters :

$session->run("CREATE (n) SET n += {props}", ['name' => 'Mike', 'age' => 27]);

Empty Arrays

Due to lack of Collections types in php, there is no way to distinguish when an empty array should be treated as equivalent Java List or Map types.

Therefore you can use a wrapper around arrays for type safety :

use GraphAware\Common\Collections;

        $query = 'MERGE (n:User {id: {id} }) 
        WITH n
        UNWIND {friends} AS friend
        MERGE (f:User {id: friend.name})
        MERGE (f)-[:KNOWS]->(n)';

        $params = ['id' => 'me', 'friends' => Collections::asList([])];
        $this->getSession()->run($query, $params);
        
// Or

        $query = 'MERGE (n:User {id: {id} }) 
        WITH n
        UNWIND {friends}.users AS friend
        MERGE (f:User {id: friend.name})
        MERGE (f)-[:KNOWS]->(n)';

        $params = ['id' => 'me', 'friends' => Collections::asMap([])];
        $this->getSession()->run($query, $params);

TLS Encryption

In order to enable TLS support, you need to set the configuration option to REQUIRED, here an example :

$config = \GraphAware\Bolt\Configuration::newInstance()
    ->withCredentials('bolttest', 'L7n7SfTSj0e6U')
    ->withTLSMode(\GraphAware\Bolt\Configuration::TLSMODE_REQUIRED);

$driver = \GraphAware\Bolt\GraphDatabase::driver('bolt://hobomjfhocgbkeenl.dbs.graphenedb.com:24786', $config);
$session = $driver->session();
