See our Documentation or our API References.
To get started, simply require the project using Composer.
You will also need to install packages that "provide" psr/http-client-implementation
and psr/http-factory-implementation
.
A list with compatible HTTP clients and client adapters can be found at php-http.org.
If you don't know which HTTP client to use, we recommend using Guzzle 7:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php guzzlehttp/guzzle http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
Here is an example of installation with the symfony/http-client
:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
๐ก More HTTP client installations compatible with this package can be found in this section.
There are many easy ways to download and run a MeiliSearch instance.
For example, if you use Docker:
docker pull getmeili/meilisearch:latest # Fetch the latest version of MeiliSearch image from Docker Hub
docker run -it --rm -p 7700:7700 getmeili/meilisearch:latest ./meilisearch --master-key=masterKey
NB: you can also download MeiliSearch from Homebrew or APT.
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use MeiliSearch\Client;
$client = new Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey');
# An index is where the documents are stored.
$index = $client->index('movies');
$documents = [
['id' => 1, 'title' => 'Carol', 'genres' => ['Romance, Drama']],
['id' => 2, 'title' => 'Wonder Woman', 'genres' => ['Action, Adventure']],
['id' => 3, 'title' => 'Life of Pi', 'genres' => ['Adventure, Drama']],
['id' => 4, 'title' => 'Mad Max: Fury Road', 'genres' => ['Adventure, Science Fiction']],
['id' => 5, 'title' => 'Moana', 'genres' => ['Fantasy, Action']],
['id' => 6, 'title' => 'Philadelphia', 'genres' => ['Drama']],
];
# If the index 'movies' does not exist, MeiliSearch creates it when you first add the documents.
$index->addDocuments($documents); // => { "updateId": 0 }
With the updateId
, you can check the status (enqueued
, processing
, processed
or failed
) of your documents addition using the update endpoint.
// MeiliSearch is typo-tolerant:
$hits = $index->search('wondre woman')->getHits();
print_r($hits);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[title] => Wonder Woman
[genres] => Array
(
[0] => Action, Adventure
)
)
)
All the supported options are described in the search parameters section of the documentation.
๐ก More about the search()
method in the Wiki.
$index->search(
'phil',
[
'attributesToHighlight' => ['*'],
]
)->getRaw(); // Return in Array format
JSON output:
{
"hits": [
{
"id": 6,
"title": "Philadelphia",
"genre": ["Drama"],
"_formatted": {
"id": 6,
"title": "<em>Phil</em>adelphia",
"genre": ["Drama"]
}
}
],
"offset": 0,
"limit": 20,
"processingTimeMs": 0,
"query": "phil"
}

You could use any PSR-18 compatible client to use with this SDK. No additional configurations are required.
A list of compatible HTTP clients and client adapters can be found at php-http.org.
If you want to use this meilisearch-php
:
- with
guzzlehttp/guzzle
(Guzzle 7), run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php guzzlehttp/guzzle http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
- with
php-http/guzzle6-adapter
(Guzzle < 7), run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php php-http/guzzle6-adapter:^2.0 http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
- with
symfony/http-client
, run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
- with
php-http/curl-client
, run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php php-http/curl-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
- with
kriswallsmith/buzz
, run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php kriswallsmith/buzz nyholm/psr7:^1.0
For some reason, you might want to pass a custom configuration to your own HTTP client.
Make sure you have a PSR-18 compatible client when you initialize the MeiliSearch client.
Following the example in the Getting Started section, with the Guzzle HTTP client:
new Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey', new GuzzleHttpClient(['timeout' => 2]));
