Http Lib in PHP with support of Guzzle-HTTP
The HttpClient
class is a PHP class that simplifies HTTP requests using the GuzzleHttp library. This class provides a straightforward interface for making HTTP GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests, while also allowing customization of request parameters, headers, and cookie management.
Installation
To use this class, you need to have the GuzzleHttp library installed. You can install it using Composer:
composer require osti/http-client-php
Usage
Here's an example of how to use the HttpClient
class to make an HTTP GET request:
use HttpClient; // Create an instance of HttpClient $http = new HttpClient(); // Make an HTTP GET request $response = $http->makeRequest('GET', 'https://www.example.com'); // Handle the response if ($response !== false) { // The request was successful echo $response; // Response content } else { // An error occurred during the request echo "Error during the request."; }
Main Methods
Constructor
The constructor of the HttpClient
class accepts two optional parameters: $cookies
and $verify
. Setting $cookies to true
will enable the use of cookies, and a temporary file will be created to store them. Setting $verify
to true
will enable SSL verification.
Here's an example usage:
$http = new HttpClient($cookies = true, $verify = true);
addHeaders(array $headers)
Adds HTTP headers
to the request.
Here's an example:
$http->addHeaders([ 'User-Agent' => 'My User Agent', 'Authorization' => 'Bearer Token123' ]);
setBody($params, $needEncode = true)
Sets the HTTP request
body. You can specify the parameters to send in the request. If $needEncode
is set to true
, the parameters will be encoded as JSON.
Here's an example:
$http->setBody([ 'query' => ['key' => 'value'], 'json' => ['data' => 'content'] ]);
Other Methods
The HttpClient
class also offers other useful methods, such as hideHeaders()
, setTimeout()
, setOption()
, deleteOption()
and more.
