Informations about the package http
Introduction
simplemehanizm/http is object-oriented wrapper around handling an HTTP request in PHP.
Purpose of the library is to be small in footprint, to enumerate status codes and reason phrases in order to help developers avoid using magic strings.
Where and when to use this
Use case is for projects, experiments and otherwise simple coding exercises in which author(s) want to avoid using heavy libraries like Symfony's HttpFoundation in order to gain access to object-oriented interface for an HTTP request.
The intent is not to replace or to provide an alternative to existing libraries that are doing the job well.
Installation
composer require simplemehanizm/http
Usage
Create Request instance using PHP's superglobal variables
Create request instance by specifying input values
Accessing headers
Accessing input
The Request::input method uses PHP's superglobal $_REQUEST to read the data. For POST or GET values, use post() or get() functions.
Accessing GET values
Uses PHP's $_GET to access values
Accessing POST values
What if HTTP body was valid JSON?
If your request contains valid JSON, the Request class will json_decode the body IF it finds the Content-Type: application/json HTTP header
The resulting JSON input will be merged to values found in $_REQUEST, allowing you to access them using $request->input() method.
What else is there?
The src/Protocol contains several enums that expose defined HTTP status codes, phrase values, headers and similar. Explore them :)
