README

The HTTP Library is a versatile PHP toolkit designed to facilitate the handling of HTTP requests and responses in web applications. It offers a clear and efficient way to manage request data, middleware operations, response generation, and much more.

Installation

To add the HTTP Library to your project, use Composer, the PHP package manager. First, ensure Composer is installed in your project. If not, follow the installation instructions at getcomposer.org. Then, run the following command in your project root:

composer require cook/http

This command will install the HTTP Library and its dependencies into your project, making it ready for use.

Using Middleware

Middleware allows you to perform actions or checks on the HTTP request and response cycle. This feature is useful for tasks like logging, authentication, or modifying the request/response objects.

Example Middleware: LoggingMiddleware

namespace Cook\Component\Http;

class LoggingMiddleware implements Middleware
{
    public function handle(Request $request, callable $next): Response
    {
        error_log("Logging Request: " . $request->getRequestUri());
        $response = $next($request);
        error_log("Logging Response: " . $response->getStatusCode());

        return $response;
    }
}

Middleware Usage

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$stack = new MiddlewareStack();
$stack->addMiddleware(new LoggingMiddleware());

$response = $stack->handle($request);
$response->send();

File Upload Handling

Handling file uploads securely and efficiently is crucial in many web applications. The HTTP Library simplifies this process.

Handling a File Upload

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();

// Assuming a form field named 'uploadedFile'
if ($request->file->has('uploadedFile')) {
    $file = $request->file->get('uploadedFile');
    $uploadPath = '/path/to/uploads';

    // Move the uploaded file
    if ($request->file->upload('uploadedFile', $file['name'], $uploadPath)) {
        echo "File uploaded successfully.";
    } else {
        echo "File upload failed.";
    }
}
