PHP EasyRDF : unable to get graph from construct query

I'm trying to get a EasyRdf_Graph object from a query sent via EasyRdf_Sparql_Client::query.

EasyRDF doc says:

SELECT and ASK queries will return an object of type EasyRdfSparqlResult.

CONSTRUCT and DESCRIBE queries will return an object of type EasyRdf_Graph.

Here is my code :

<?php
require APPPATH .'third_party/vendor/autoload.php';        
$endpointUrl = "http://data.bnf.fr/sparql";        
$dummyConstructQueryString = "construct { ?s ?q ?r } where { ?s ?p ?o . ?o ?q ?r } limit 1";        
$endPoint = new EasyRdf_Sparql_Client($endpointUrl);
$result = $endPoint->query($dummyConstructQueryString);                
var_dump($result);
echo $result;
?>

And here is the output, which is EasyRdf_Sparql_Result as you can see :

object(**EasyRdf_Sparql_Result**)#47 (6) {
  ["type":"EasyRdf_Sparql_Result":private]=>
  string(8) "bindings"

        ["graph":protected]=>

      }
      ["p"]=>

        ["graph":protected]=>
        NULL
      }
    }
  }
}

Also tried with different endpoints (http://dbpedia.org/sparql and http://localhost:3030/testFuseki) because I saw this issue : https://github.com/njh/easyrdf/issues/226, but it's the same.

Infos about install

  • EasyRDF version 0.9.1 installed with Composer

  • PHP Version 7.0.30-0+deb9u1 + Apache/2.4.25 (Debian)

Any clue would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

EDIT

Actually it works with my local install of Fuseki. Since http://data.bnf/fr/sparql and http://dbpedia.org/sparql are both Virtuoso endpoints, I wonder if the problem is only with Virtuoso.

Solution

  • Thanks to Ted's suggestion about the headers and updating EasyRDF, I found a solution after reading a bit more about EasyRDF issue #226. The problem is that it requires to re-write php code to use the new namespaces, etc. If anyone knows a solution with 0.9.1 version, it would be very helpful!

    It seems that the returned object type (EasyRdf_Graph / EasyRdf_Sparql_Result) depends on the Accept parameter of the headers. I tried to modify it (added different content-types listed in Virtuoso doc ) via Firebug and re-send the request, but didn't get any EasyRdf_Graph object yet with Virtuoso.

    As Ted asked, here is the relevant part of request headers (with above php code and EasyRDF 0.0.1) :

    Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: fr,fr-FR;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive

    In order to get the endpoint response headers, I added this line :

    print_r(get_headers($endpointUrl));

    Here are the response headers for Fuseki (which gives an EasyRdf_Graph object) :

    [0] => HTTP/1.1 200 OK
[1] => Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2018 06:14:56 GMT
[2] => Fuseki-Request-ID: 13
[3] => Vary: Accept,Accept-Encoding,Accept-Charset
[4] => Content-Type: application/n-quads
[5] => Vary: User-Agent

    And for Virtuoso (http://data.bnf.fr)

    [0] => HTTP/1.1 302 Found
[1] => Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2018 06:12:29 GMT
[2] => Server: Apache

[16] => Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
[17] => Content-Type: text/html
[18] => Content-Language: fr
[19] => Connection: close

    N.B. : for data.bnf.fr the code is 302 (redirection), but it doesn't seem to make any difference, see dbpedia response :

    [0] => HTTP/1.1 200 OK
[1] => Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2018 07:17:23 GMT

[13] => Accept-Ranges: bytes

    So here is the solution with new php code and composer update to get EasyRDF dev-master :

    1) Edit composer.json :

    {
    "require": {
        "easyrdf/easyrdf": "dev-master"
    }
}

    2) run 

    php composer.phar update

    3) rewrite php code :

    require_once './third_party/vendor/autoload.php';
$endpointUrl = "http://data.bnf.fr/sparql";        
$dummyConstructQueryString = "construct { ?s ?q ?r } where { ?s ?p ?o . ?o ?q ?r } limit 1";        
$endPoint = new \EasyRdf\Sparql\Client($endpointUrl); // <-- here use the namespace
$result = $endPoint->query($dummyConstructQueryString);                
var_dump($result);

    EDIT

    Finally I'm not sure that the http request headers parameter "Accept" is the condition to get an EasyRdf_Graph object. Here are the headers for request and response with updated Easyrdf code ("dev-master" version). Maybe EasyRDF parses the query and the result to build a EasyRdf_Graph object.
