PHTTP

A simple curl wrapper, which provides a clean object oriented interface to manage HTTP requests. All Phttp requests return a PhttpResponse object, which makes available the following response data :

• HTTP status code :

  $statusCode = $resp->getStatusCode();
  

• Response body :

  $responseBody = $resp->getBody();
  

• Response headers :

  $responseHeaders = $resp->getHeaders();
  

Basic Usage

require_once('Phttp.php');

try {
  $resp = Phttp::get("http://google.com", null, null);
  echo "\nResponse : ";
  echo "\nStatus code : ".$resp->getStatusCode();
  echo "\nBody : ".$resp->getBody();
  $responseHeaders = $resp->getHeaders();
  if(count($responseHeaders) > 0) {
    echo "\nResponse headers : ";
    foreach($responseHeaders as $hk => $hv) {
            echo "\n$hk : $hv";
    }
  }
  echo "\n";
} catch(PhttpException $pe) {
  echo "\nException occurred : ";
  echo "\n Code : ".$pe->getCode();
  echo "\n Message : ".$pe->getMessage()."\n";
}
