+       Make sure you have a nice record on your filesystem, which you can 
+       index from the filesystem by use of the zebraidx command.
+       Do it exactly as you planned, using one of the GRS-1 filters,
+       or the DOMXML filter. 
+       When this works, proceed.

+       Check that your server setup is OK before you even coded one single 
+       line PHP using ES.
+       Take the same record form the file system, and send as ES via 
+       <literal>yaz-client</literal> like described in
+       <xref linkend="administration-extended-services-yaz-client"/>,
+       and
+       remeber the <literal>-a</literal> option which tells you what
+       goes over the wire! Notice also the section on permissions:
+       try 
+       <screen>
+        perm.anonymous: rw
+       </screen>
+       in <literal>zebra.cfg</literal> to make sure you do not run into 
+       permission  problems (but never expose such an unsecure setup on the 
+       internet!!!). Then, make sure to set the general
+       <literal>recordType</literal> instruction, pointing correctly
+       to the GRS-1 filters,
+       or the DOMXML filters.

+       system number is not allowed for
