laravel 5 sphinx search - laravel-5

Question

I am trying to use sphinx in laravel 5.2 using this library :https://github.com/sngrl/sphinxsearch
I have followed all the steps, changed the ports but I am getting this issue :
ErrorException in SphinxClient.php line 418:Undefined offset: 1
HandleExceptions->handleError('8', 'Undefined offset: 1', '/var/www/html/test/vendor/gigablah/sphinxphp/src/Sphinx/SphinxClient.php', '418', array('errno' => '0', 'errstr' => '', 'host' => 'localhost', 'port' => '5432', 'fp' => resource))
in SphinxClient.php line 418 at SphinxClient->connect() in SphinxClient.php line 1362
I am not sure if the connection set with sphinx is done. Your help will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Answer 1

After find every where for the issue, I got some luck my combining 2-3 answers.
I have to make some changes in the vendor file :- SphinxClient.php
have to comment out the following code :-
/*
list(, $v) = unpack('N*', fread($fp, 4));
$v = (int) $v;
if ($v < 1) {
fclose($fp);
$this->error = sprintf('expected searchd protocol version 1+, got version \'%d\'', $v);
return false;
}
*/
And add following code before the above commented code :-
$r=unpack ( "N*", fread ( $fp, 4 ) );
if(!isset($r[1])){
fclose ( $fp );
$this->_error = "connected to host, but returned data is not correct";
return false;
}
Now I can not get that error and get the result using sphinx search
