These steps should more or less also work on other *IX systems. Please follow our documentation for the installation on Windows (http://docs.couchbase.com/developer/php-2.0/download-links.html)!

Getting started

There is a PHP file 'settings.php' which contains the connection details to the Couchbase Cluster

define(CB_HOST, "couchbase://192.168.7.155,192.168.7.160");
define(CB_BUCKET, "workshop");
define(CB_BUCKET_PWD, "test");

I used Netbeans 8.x for developing this, which allows you to run the application within the PHP built-in Web Server.

/usr/bin/php -S "localhost:9090"
