Simple implementation that supports PUT, GET, POST, DELETE and uses pecl http module functions instead of cURL. Inspired by ruby rest client https://github.com/archiloque/rest-client
Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE HTTP methods. Basic HTTP authentication is done via pecl http module settings, see examples below. Constructor accepts all http_options from https://us.php.net/manual/en/http.request.options.php . Easy to extend.
Detailed response information and response object are respectively in $client->response_info and $client->response_object. Raw response data is available in $client->response_raw
require 'rest_client.php';
$c = new RestClient();
GET request
$res = $c->get('https://www.yahoo.com');
Posting raw POST data
$res = $c->post(
'https://api.example.com/create', json_encode(array('name' => 'foobar'))
);
Sending a form using POST
$res = $c->post(
'https://www.example.com/form', array('name' => 'foobar'))
);
Sending custom HTTP headers
$res = $c->post(
'https://www.example.com/form', json_encode(array('name' => 'foobar')),
array(
'headers' => array(
'X-My-App' => 'foobar/1.0',
'Content-type' => 'application/json'
)
)
);
Basic HTTP authentication
$res = $c->post(
'https://www.example.com/form', json_encode(array('name' => 'foobar')),
array(
'httpauth' => 'username:password'
)
);
PUT request
$res = $c->put(
'https://api.example.com/create', 'PUT request data'
);
DELETE request
$res = $c->delete(
'https://api.example.com/remove', 'PUT request data'
);
RAW response data
$res = $c->get(
'https://www.example.com/upload.txt'
);
echo $c->response_raw;
