php_yaz.dll,YAZ

介绍

This extension offers a PHP interface to the

YAZ toolkit that implements the

Z39.50

Protocol for Information Retrieval.

With this extension you can easily implement a Z39.50 origin (client)

that searches or scans Z39.50 targets (servers) in parallel.

The module hides most of the complexity of Z39.50 so it should be

fairly easy to use. It supports persistent stateless connections very

similar to those offered by the various RDB APIs that are available

for PHP. This means that sessions are stateless but shared among

users, thus saving the connect and initialize phase steps in most

cases.

YAZ is available at http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/. You can find news information,

example scripts, etc. for this extension at http://www.indexdata.dk/phpyaz/.
