Installation:

Installation through composer

If you already use composer this is the most simple way to use WeedPhp in your project.

Add to your composer.json

"require": {
    "micjohnson/weed-php": "v0.1"
}

Install through composer.phar

php composer.phar update micjohnson/weed-php

Installation without composer

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/micjohnson/weed-php.git

Create an autoloader. There is an example in test/autoload.php

Then include the autoloader in your project.

include_once('weed-php/test/autoload.php');

Documentation:

Create a WeedPhp object in your project, by passing the location of your master weed-fs server.

<?php

// ...

$weedPhp = new WeedPhp\Client('localhost:9333');

WeedPhp provides functions for most of the weed-fs REST calls.

assign($count = 1, $replication = null)

Assign returns a json response including the file id your file(s) will use, and where to store the file, using store.

When storing files with weed-fs the logic flow is assign then store. Assign reserves $count locations for files to be stored (using a single file id).

A string can be passed for replication, defining the type of replication this file will be stored with. see http://code.google.com/p/weed-fs/#Rack-Aware_and_Data_Center-Aware_Replication

Note that if you have a count greater than one, append _1, _2, _3, etc. on the file id for the subsequent files. The first file still uses just the file id.

store($volumeServerAddress, $fileId, $file)

This stores a single file.

$volumeServerAddress should be the location returned from assign().

$fileId should be the file id returned from assign().

$file raw file data to be stored.

storeMultiple($volumeServerAddress, $fileId, array $files)

This is meant to be used when assigning multiple file versions. This will automatically loop through your files, and append _1, _2, etc. on the file id, as it stores the files.

$volumeServerAddress should be the location returned from assign().

$fileId should be the file id returned from assign().

$files array of raw file datas to be stored.

lookup($volumeId)

Returns a json response with the locations where the volume is stored

$volumeId is the number before the comma in the fileId.

eg.
fid = 3,01637037d6
volumeId = 3

retrieve($volumeServerAddress, $fileId)

Retrieves the raw file data from a volume server.

$volumeServerAddress should be the location returned from assign().

$fileId should be the file id returned from assign().

delete($volumeServerAddress, $fileId)

Deletes file from volume server. Note that there is not a deleteMultiple, and if you assigned/stored multiple files you should delete them each individually.

$volumeServerAddress should be the location returned from assign().

$fileId should be the file id returned from assign().

status()

Gets status from your weed-fs master server
