z39.50 php,PHP Prepares for a connection to a Z39.50 server

userUsername for authentication.

groupGroup for authentication.

passwordPassword for authentication.

cookieCookie for session (YAZ proxy).

proxyProxy for connection (YAZ proxy).

persistentA boolean. If TRUE the connection is persistent; If FALSE the

connection is not persistent. By default connections are persistent.

Note:

If you open a persistent connection, you won't be able to close

it later with

piggybackA boolean. If TRUE piggyback is enabled for searches; If FALSE

piggyback is disabled. By default piggyback is enabled.

Enabling piggyback is more efficient and usually saves a

network-round-trip for first time fetches of records. However, a

few Z39.50 servers do not support piggyback or they ignore element

set names. For those, piggyback should be disabled.

charsetA string that specifies character set to be used in Z39.50

language and character set negotiation. Use strings such as:

ISO-8859-1, UTF-8,

UTF-16.

Most Z39.50 servers do not support this feature (and thus, this is

ignored). Many servers use the ISO-8859-1 encoding for queries and

messages. MARC21/USMARC records are not affected by this setting.

preferredMessageSizeAn integer that specifies the maximum byte size of all records

to be returned by a target during retrieval. See the

» Z39.50 standard for more

information.

Note:

This option is supported in PECL YAZ 1.0.5 or later.

maximumRecordSizeAn integer that specifies the maximum byte size of a single record

to be returned by a target during retrieval. This

entity is referred to as Exceptional-record-size in the

» Z39.50 standard.

Note:

This option is supported in PECL YAZ 1.0.5 or later.
