适用于重型数据库的最佳PHP搜索技术，例如适用于Java的apache solr

Question

I have used apache solr in my java project smoothly, but when i come to the end to solve a same kind of issue with PHP, this issue is arising:

To run apache SOLR, we need JVM to be installed on the server. But I don't know whether there is JVM installed in my client server or not. Because it is PHP apache linux server (not dedicated), I don't know whether I will get to access the console by which I can manage a bit.

Could any body tell me what is the alternative for apache solr for simple PHP environment? Or please suggest me best indexing search technique for PHP.

Answer 1

Some options:

1. The worst solution, but probably the easiest if you want to remain in this (shared?) environment is to use a php solution like aitchnyu suggested. You could even use your own.
2. Shared environments often have access to mysql, you could search based off that . (Also not ideal, but possible)
3. Upgrade servers to like a virtual-shared server or use a seperate server for SOLR (I use ec2 free-tier which works well)

Not really an option but to answer your question, yes you can access the terminal through php but this is far from what you should really do because most shared servers disable access through php (in fact they didn't give you ssh access for a reason).

Also because even if they forgot to close this security hole (which happens sometimes) you will exhaust your resources (ram, cpu) pretty quick and you'll have to upgrade servers anyway.
