manticoresearch-php get auto-id of added document

Is it possible to get auto-id (generated by RT index) when adding a document? I’m currently using PHP package and addDocument() method but it always return 0 as _id.

2

usually SphinxQL interface returns last_insert_id for INSERT and REPLACE.

However you could also use SELECT query to get it.

There’s an open issue on github about it - inserted "id" is 0 on HTTP · Issue #473 · manticoresoftware/manticoresearch · GitHub

As soon as it’s done the PHP client will be able to return the actual value instead of 0.

Currently you can only get auto-id via SQL - Manticore Search Manual: Functions > Other functions

I’m using PHP client (HTTP interface), IMHO using SQL interface at the same time does not look good. I prefer to use single interface/method.

I’ve just fixed document id value for HTTP reply to insert \ replace endpoints for auto-generated id at

You could grab a new package at dev repo when CI passed to get issue fixed
