无法在Windows上安装neoclient

Question

I am following the directions given here to install neoclient on Windows 7 - https://github.com/neoxygen/neo4j-neoclient

But I get the error -

<b>Parse error</b>:  syntax error, unexpected 'use' (T_USE) in <b>C:\xampp\htdocs\send.php</b> on line <b>7</b><br />

when I try to run the sample php code.

My code is -

<?php
try
{
    require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

    use Neoxygen\NeoClient\ClientBuilder;

    $client = ClientBuilder::create()
    ->addConnection('default','http','localhost',7474)
    ->build();

    $version = $client->getNeo4jVersion();
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

echo $version;

?>

Answer 1

I'm the maintainer of NeoClient.

I don't think I have ever seen this piece of code somewhere, please point to a link.

Especially, require and use statements should be in the beginning of the file, after the open tag .

Secondly, you don't need to instantiate the client in a try/catch block.

Here is the correct piece of code :

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Neoxygen\NeoClient\ClientBuilder;

$client = ClientBuilder::create()
->addConnection('default','http','localhost',7474)
->build();
try
{
    $version = $client->getNeo4jVersion();
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
echo $version;
?>
