Some basic usage:

Let’s create 10 JSON documents and store them in Couchbase:

<?php

$connection = new Couchbase("127.0.0.1:8091");

for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) {
$doc = array(
'title' => "This is Post $i"
);
$connection->set("post_$i", json_encode($doc));
}

?>

You can view your stored documents instantly through the GUI (http://localhost:8091/index.html#sec=documents&bucketName=default). Now we can retrieve all documents again by their keys:

<?php

$connection = new Couchbase("127.0.0.1:8091");

echo "<ul>";
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) {
$post = json_decode($connection->get("post_$i"));
echo "<li>" . $post->title .  "</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";

?>
