Riak PHP Client is a library which makes it easy to communicate with Riak, an open source, distributed database that focuses on high availability, horizontal scalability, and predictable latency. This library communicates with Riak's HTTP interface using the cURL extension. If you want to communicate with Riak using the Protocol Buffers interface, use the Official PHP PB Client. Both Riak and this library are maintained by Basho Technologies.

A fully traversable version of the API documentation for this library can be found on Github Pages.

Below is a short example of using the client. More substantial sample code is available in examples.

// lib classes are included via the Composer autoloader files
use Basho\Riak;
use Basho\Riak\Node;
use Basho\Riak\Command;

// define the connection info to our Riak nodes
$nodes = (new Node\Builder)
    ->onPort(10018)
    ->buildCluster(['riak1.company.com', 'riak2.company.com', 'riak3.company.com',]);

// instantiate the Riak client
$riak = new Riak($nodes);

// build a command to be executed against Riak
$command = (new Command\Builder\StoreObject($riak))
    ->buildObject('some_data')
    ->buildBucket('users')
    ->build();
    
// Receive a response object
$response = $command->execute();

// Retrieve the Location of our newly stored object from the Response object
$object_location = $response->getLocation();
