Getting excerpts from sphinx with the php api

Question

I'm trying to get sphinx search to return excerpts of matched documents. I'm using http://code.google.com/p/sphinxsearch/source/browse/trunk/api/sphinxapi.php to speak with the sphinx daemon.

At the moment I'm only getting back the following:

[matches] => Array
    (
        [28] => Array
            (
                [weight] => 2
                [attrs] => Array
                    (
                        [serialized_time] => 1252664548
                    )

            )

Does anyone have any examples of how to command sphinx to include excerpts as well as document id's, etc...?
