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.
