README

This is a simple library to wrap & manage native PHP HTTP requests (there are plenty of serious alternatives like Guzzle, this is my tiny approach to be used in some of my personal projects, should not be taken too seriously).

Requirements

• mininum php version 8.4
• curl extension must be enabled

Limitations

At this time only GET/HEAD methods are supported.

Install (composer) dependencies:

composer require aportela/httprequest-wrapper

Code example:

<?php

    require "vendor/autoload.php";

    $logger = new \Psr\Log\NullLogger("");

    // it requires curl extension, otherwise an \aportela\HTTPRequestWrapper\Exception\CurlMissingException is thrown
    $http = new \aportela\HTTPRequestWrapper\HTTPRequest($logger, "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1");

    try {
        $response = $http->GET("https://packagist.org/packages/aportela/httprequest-wrapper");
        if ($response->code == 200) {
            echo $response->body . PHP_EOL;
        } else {
            echo "Error getting remote url, http response code: {$response->code}" . PHP_EOL;
        }
    } catch (\aportela\HTTPRequestWrapper\Exception\CurlExecException $e) {
        // this exception is thrown if the curl execution fails and the remote server does not respond (ex: cannot open the connection, the connection has been reset, ...)
        echo "Error executing curl: " . $e->getMessage();
    }

Response object struct:

code: HTTP response code (int)
contentType: response content type (string)
headers: response headers (array)
body: response body contents (null|string)
