README

Features:

• execute MDX statements over XMLA
• use result data in PHP as an associative array
• transform the result into other structures via plug-in renderers: e.g. an HTML table, CSV, etc.
• create MDX queries in OOP-style via MDX query builder
• explore database schemas (cubes, dimensions, hierarchies, levels, ...).

phpOLAPi is a fork of phpOLAP by Julien Jacottet, which is unfortunately not maintained anymore.

Install

composer require fakhrani/phpolapi

phpOLAPi runs on PHP 5.3.2 and above.

Connect

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use phpOLAPi\Xmla\Connection\Connection;
use phpOLAPi\Xmla\Connection\Adaptator\SoapAdaptator;

// for Mondrian
$connection = new Connection(
    new SoapAdaptator('http://localhost:8080/mondrian/xmla'), 
    [
        'DataSourceInfo' => 'Provider=Mondrian;DataSource=MondrianFoodMart;'
        'CatalogName' => 'FoodMart',
        'schemaName' => 'FoodMart'
    ]
);

// for Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services
$connection = new Connection(
    new SoapAdaptator('http://localhost/olap/msmdpump.dll', 'username', 'password'),
    [
        'DataSourceInfo' => null,
        'CatalogName' => 'Adventure Works DW 2008R2 SE'
    ]
);

NOTE: Before you start, make sure, your database provides an XMLA webservice. Some OLAP enginges (like Mondrian) work with XMLA out of the box, while others require additional actions to be performed - for example, here are the official instructions to add an XMLA webservice to Microsoft Analysis Services.

Run an MDX query

// Connect as shown above
$connection = ...

// Execute MDX statement
$resultSet = $connection->statement("
	SELECT [Measures].MEMBERS ON COLUMNS FROM [Adventure Works] 
");

// Transform to associative array
$renderer = new \phpOLAPi\Renderer\AssocArrayRenderer($resultSet);
$array = $renderer->generate();

Build an MDX query via API

use phpOLAPi\Mdx\Query;

$query = new Query("[Sales]");
$query->addElement("[Measures].[Unit Sales]", "COL");
$query->addElement("[Measures].[Store Cost]", "COL");
$query->addElement("[Measures].[Store Sales]", "COL");
$query->addElement("[Gender].[All Gender].Children", "COL");
$query->addElement("[Promotion Media].[All Media]", "ROW");
$query->addElement("[Product].[All Products].[Drink].[Alcoholic Beverages]", "ROW");
$query->addElement("[Promotion Media].[All Media].Children", "ROW");
$query->addElement("[Product].[All Products]", "ROW");
$query->addElement("[Time].[1997]", "FILTER");

$connection = ...

$resultSet = $connection->statement(
	$query->toMdx()
);

Use ResultSet renderers

The result of a query is a ResultSet instance, which mimics the (very complex) structure of an XMLA response. Renderers help extract the actual data, which is burried deep in the XML. In the first example above we used the AssocArrayRenderer to transform the ResultSet into an associative array. But there are also other renderers and you can also build your own!

use phpOLAPi\Renderer\Table\HtmlTableRenderer;
use phpOLAPi\Renderer\Table\CsvTableRenderer;
use phpOLAPi\Renderer\AssocArrayRenderer

$connection = ...

$resultSet = $connection->statement("
	SELECT	
		{ 
			[Measures].[internet Sales Amount],
			[Measures].[Internet Order Quantity] 
		} ON COLUMNS,
		{
			[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].[CY 2006],
			[Date]. [Calendar].[Calendar Year].[CY 2007] 
		} ON ROWS
	FROM
	    [Adventure Works]
	WHERE
	    ([Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].[Australia])

");

// Associative array (similar to the result of SQL queries)
$array = (new AssocArrayRenderer($resultSet))->generate();
var_dump($array);

// HTML table
$tableRenderer = new HtmlTableRenderer($resultSet);
echo $tableRenderer->generate();

// CSV
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel"); 
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"export.csv\"");
$csv = new CsvTableLayout($resultSet);
print($csv->generate()); 

Database exploration

<?php

$connection = ...

$cube = $connection->findOneCube(null, array('CUBE_NAME' => 'Sales'));
	
?>


<p><label>Cube :</label> <?php echo $cube->getName() ?></p>
<ul id="cubeExploration">
	<li class="measure">
		Measures
		<ul>
			<?php foreach ($cube->getMeasures() as $measure): ?>
				<li><?php echo $measure->getCaption() ?></li>
			<?php endforeach ?>
		</ul>
	</li>		
	<?php foreach ($cube->getDimensionsAndHierarchiesAndLevels() as $dimention): ?>
		<?php if($dimention->getType() != 'MEASURE') : ?>
		<li>
			<?php echo $dimention->getCaption() ?>
			<ul>
				<?php foreach ($dimention->getHierarchies() as $hierarchy): ?>
					<li>
						<?php echo $hierarchy->getCaption() ?>
						<ul>
							<?php foreach ($hierarchy->getLevels() as $level): ?>
								<li>
									<?php echo $level->getCaption() ?>
								</li>
							<?php endforeach ?>
						</ul>
					</li>
				<?php endforeach ?>
			</ul>
		</li>
		<?php endif; ?>
	<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
