Install

Using Composer

1. From the command line composer require "everyman/neo4jphp" "dev-master"
2. In your PHP script require("vendor/autoload.php");

Connection Test

Create a script named neo4jphp_connect_test.php:

    <?php
    require('vendor/autoload.php');
    
    $client = new Everyman\Neo4j\Client('localhost', 7474);
    print_r($client->getServerInfo());

Change localhost or 7474 to the host name and port of your Neo4j instance.

Execute the script:

> php neo4jphp_connect_test.php

If you see your server's information, then you have successfully connected!
