- Description
This is a very basic PHP example of how to search and display results from the Primo X-Services Brief Search API. I'm actually not a PHP developer but put this together for an ELUNA 2011 presentation to compare it with a ColdFusion version to show that the language you use to access the API is not important (i.e. use whatever you are comfortable with whether that be PHP, ColdFusion or something else).
