README

A simple, lightweight PHP function inspired by JavaScript's fetch(), using cURL under the hood. Supports method, headers, and body customization — perfect for quick API calls.

📦 Installation

Use Composer to install:

composer require iescarro/php-fetch

🚀 Usage

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use function PhpFetch\fetch;

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', [
    'method' => 'POST',
    'headers' => [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    ],
    'body' => [
        'title' => 'Hello',
        'body' => 'World!',
        'userId' => 1,
    ],
], function ($response) {
    print_r($response);
});

🧰 Options

Key	Type	Description
method	string	HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.)
headers	array	Associative array of request headers
body	array or string	Request payload. If an array is provided, it will be JSON-encoded automatically.

🧠 Response Format

The callback receives a response array like:

[
    'status' => 200,
    'data' => [...],       // Decoded JSON
    // 'error' => '...',    // Only if cURL fails
]
