Php CouchDB Connectivity

In this tutorial, we are explaining an example of php CouchDb connectivity. Php provides easy way to connect. We just need to execute a Php script given below.

CouchDB by default executes on the 5984 port.

1) Creating a Php file

// index.php

<?php
$options['host'] = "localhost"; 
$options['port'] = 5984;
// Creating connection
$couch = new CouchSimple($options); 
$couch->send("GET", "/"); 
// Create a new database "javatpoint".
$couch->send("PUT", "/javatpoint"); 
// Create a new document in the database.
$couch->send("PUT", "/javatpoint/24", '{"_id":"24","name":"John"}'); 
// Fetching document
$resp = $couch->send("GET", "/javatpoint/24"); 
echo $resp; 
class CouchSimple {
function CouchSimple($options) {
foreach($options AS $key => $value) {
$this->$key = $value;
}
} 
function send($method, $url, $post_data = NULL) {
$s = fsockopen($this->host, $this->port, $errno, $errstr); 
if(!$s) {
echo "$errno: $errstr\n"; 
return false;
} 
$request = "$method $url HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $this->host\r\n"; 
if ($this->user) {
$request .= "Authorization: Basic ".base64_encode("$this->user:$this->pass")."\r\n"; 
}
if($post_data) {
$request .= "Content-Length: ".strlen($post_data)."\r\n\r\n"; 
$request .= "$post_data\r\n";
} 
else {
$request .= "\r\n";
}
fwrite($s, $request); 
$response = ""; 
while(!feof($s)) {
$response .= fgets($s);
}
list($this->headers, $this->body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $response); 
return $this->body;
}
}
?>

2) Access CouchDB

We can use http://localhost:5984/_utilsto see available databases.
