Support for InfluxQL (1.X style queries)

[mattv8]

Proposal:
Would it be possible to add support for the "old-style" InfluxQL queries?

Current behavior:
I am testing the following query:

SELECT count/518400 from (SELECT count("status") FROM "system" WHERE status = \'running\' ) WHERE time > now()-60d AND count > 129600 GROUP BY "host"'

In PHP, my code looks something like the following:

// Load the InfluxDB library
use InfluxDB2\Client;
use InfluxDB2\Model\WritePrecision;
use InfluxDB2\Query\Builder;

$client = new Client([
    "url" => "my_URL:8086",
    "token" => "my_token",
    "bucket" => "my_bucket",
    "org" => "my_org",
    "precision" => WritePrecision::NS,
]);
$queryApi = $client->createQueryApi();

$queryQL = 'SELECT count/518400 from (SELECT count("status") FROM "system" WHERE status = \'running\' ) WHERE time > now()-60d AND count > 129600 GROUP BY "host"';

// Execute the query
$result = $queryApi->query($queryQL);

Desired behavior:
I would expect an output array. Instead, this throws the following error
AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught InfluxDB2\\ApiException: [400] Error connecting to the API (http://my_url:8086/api/v2/query?org=my_org)(: compilation failed: error @1:21-1:90: expected comma in property list, got IDENT\n\nerror @1:21-1:90: expected comma in property list, got LPAREN\n\nerror @1:39-1:89: invalid expression @1:87-1:88: '\n\nerror @1:39-1:89: unexpected token for property key: LPAREN (()) in /public_html/vendor/influxdata/influxdb-client-php/src/InfluxDB2/DefaultApi.php:157\nStack trace:\n#0 /public_html/vendor/influxdata/influxdb-client-php/src/InfluxDB2/DefaultApi.php(214): InfluxDB2\\DefaultApi->sendRequest()\n#1 /public_html/vendor/influxdata/influxdb-client-php/src/InfluxDB2/DefaultApi.php(79): InfluxDB2\\DefaultApi->request()\n#2 /public_html/vendor/influxdata/influxdb-client-php/src/InfluxDB2/QueryApi.php(115): InfluxDB2\\DefaultApi->post()\n#3 /public_html/vendor...'

Alternatives considered:
I tried "converting" the query to Flux as best as I could, but it returns an empty array:

$queryFlux = 'from(bucket: "my_bucket")
|> range(start: -60d)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r["status"] == "running")
|> count(column: "status")
|> filter(fn: (r) => r["_value"] > 129600)
|> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: r["_value"] / 518400}))
|> group(columns: ["host"])';

// Execute the query
$result = $queryApi->query($queryFlux);

Use case:
I have a lot of queries that I've built in Grafana that would be nice to more easily copy over, rather than re-formulate to the Flux queries. Plus would make it a lot easer to debug with a graphical UI such as Grafana that I can plug the queries into.

Since there is no future for flux I think it would be nice if this was added. Think this will be added if this library updates to influxdb3 ?

Its working with influxql .. Im querying influxdb V2.7 data in php8.1, I have created influx v1 auth influx v1 auth create | InfluxDB OSS v2 Documentation and dbrp mapping for the bucket https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/v1/dbrp/list/

I have installed [InfluxDB v1 PHP client], using below php code connected to influxdbV2

``<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$port = 8086;
$dbname = 'Test';
$username = 'xxxxx';
$password = 'xxxxx';
require DIR . '/vendor/autoload.php';
$client = new InfluxDB\Client($host, $port, $username, $password);
print_r($client);
$database = $client->selectDB($dbname);
$result = $database->query('select co from airSensors WHERE time > now()-4d');
$points = $result->getPoints();
print_r($points);
//header('Content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8');
//echo json_encode( $result, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT ) ;
