Lucene with PHP

Question

Can I use Lucene with PHP ? I don\'t want to use Zend. Can I use in native PHP (not framework) ?

Answer 1

I'm using Lucene with PHP doing system calls on Java, for example:

java ... .SearchFiles -index C:\shop\system\index -high -queries Computer* 

I have adapted SearchFiles to produce HTML code but the output may as well be dynamic PHP code (for example an array holding the search results).

The system is very fast and you don't need more than Java on the server.
