[PCBC-224] Document installation instructions for Windows with Apache instead of IIS

Document installation instructions for Windows with Apache instead of IIS

[PCBC-201] Docs: Reference installation

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:36:19 -0600

Customers have lots of choices at their fingertips, and many of those choices will result in a non-functioning installation, or at least a lot of time spent figuring out what the right pieces are.

Can we please provide as much details as possible about a reference installation that we can be sure will work for a customer who is just getting started? This is outside of our support for any one operatin system, but more about telling the customer "if you install with these versions and packages, this code will work"

-OS
-"language" version (PHP 5.x, etc)
-other packages/modules required and/or tested with

[PCBC-196] Error handling documentation

Tue, 5 Feb 2013 02:39:21 -0600

Please create some documentation specifying possible error/failures to operations, what they "look" like in the logs/exceptions/stack traces and what our recommendation is on how to handle them.

i.e. tmp_oom, timeouts (connection/operation/java-internal/etc), "get miss" (it's technically a failure, let's make it overly obvious what it means), CAS failure, add() failure, replace() failure,

Some of this should be covered in the API reference, but this bug is specifically for a single page where this information is aggregated that a customer/user could read about how to handle errors.

[PCBC-190] Need documentation on timeouts available for PHP

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:11:22 -0500

This link: http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-devguide-1.8/about-client-timeouts.html, states that there aren't any timeouts available for PHP

The PHP docs don't describe any.

However, I know that the underlying libcouchbase exposes at least one basic request timeout setting so either the PHP library needs some help exposing that, or it already does and we need to document it.

[PCBC-185] Create an example to show how to use the getAndLock feature

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 08:48:27 -0600

It will be useful for user to see how to use the getAndLock function in PHP here:

[PCBC-182] Update the documentation to show when a parameter is a copy or a reference

Fri, 18 Jan 2013 05:46:45 -0600

When I look at the PHP core documentation I see when a parameter is a reference or not. (so we should review all our function documentation)

For example if you look at:
http://www.php.net/sort

Not only I know the type but also when it is a reference it is mentionned as &$array

I think we should do the same in our documentation, when I see our API with cas, for example:
http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-sdk-php-1.1/api-reference-retrieve-get.html#table-couchbase-sdk_php_get

it is not clear to me.

[PCBC-152] Release notes needed fro 1.0.6

Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:51:16 -0600

As with Ruby, PHP 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 are marked as "unreleased" in Jira yet have been avialable for d/l. Release notes needed for 1.0.6

[PCBC-225] Failure to load JSON module, even with workaround provided via instructions

Tue, 7 May 2013 12:32:52 -0500

On a Centos 5.8 system, I am unable to follow our instructions (http://www.couchbase.com/develop/php/current) to success.

After setting everything up, I get the following error about JSON:
NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/couchbase.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/couchbase.so: undefined symbol: php_json_decode in Unknown on line 0

This is even after I put the json.so as an extension in the PHP.ini file.

php -i shows the proper JSON related output:
~ $ php -i | grep json
json
json support => enabled
json version => 1.2.1

I will note that installing via the new PECL method helps to resolve this, but you still get the error if you don't include json.so in the php.ini file.

[PCBC-223] Docs: Instructions to find php.ini incorrect

Sat, 11 May 2013 13:27:40 -0500

http://www.couchbase.com/develop/php/current

"You will add the couchbase.so extension to your php.ini file. To find where your php.inifile is, try php -i | grep extension_dir or look at your <?php phpinfo() ?> output. Edit your php.ini to include these two lines:"

Not correct..."extension_dir" should be "Configuration" and there should be another set of instructions for finding the extension directory

[PCBC-53] include windows in release

Mon, 13 May 2013 02:37:43 -0500

Once libcouchbase is in a release for Windows, there should be a PHP release to go along with it.

[PCBC-235] Documentation: Document how to install our SDK with PEAR

Thu, 23 May 2013 23:54:26 -0500

Based on a community feedback it is possible and easy to install Couchbase PHP SDK with Pear, it could be interested to add that as part of our documentation to let the developer chose the type of install (manual, pecl, pear, ...)

You can find the steps here:
