Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and
trivial to integrate with web services.
2015-08-27 12:03:05 -07:00
- Simple interface for building query strings, POST requests, streaming large
uploads, streaming large downloads, using HTTP cookies, uploading JSON data,
etc...
- Can send both synchronous and asynchronous requests using the same interface.
- Uses PSR-7 interfaces for requests, responses, and streams. This allows you
to utilize other PSR-7 compatible libraries with Guzzle.
- Abstracts away the underlying HTTP transport, allowing you to write
environment and transport agnostic code; i.e., no hard dependency on cURL,
PHP streams, sockets, or non-blocking event loops.
- Middleware system allows you to augment and compose client behavior.

```php
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$res = $client->get('https://api.github.com/user', ['auth' => ['user', 'pass']]);
echo $res->getStatusCode();
// "200"
echo $res->getHeader('content-type');
// 'application/json; charset=utf8'
echo $res->getBody();
// {"type":"User"...'
// Send an asynchronous request.

$request = new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org');
$promise = $client->sendAsync($request)->then(function ($response) {
echo 'I completed! ' . $response->getBody();
2015-08-17 17:00:26 -07:00
});
2015-08-27 12:03:05 -07:00
$promise->wait();

## Installing Guzzle
2015-08-17 17:00:26 -07:00
The recommended way to install Guzzle is through
[Composer ](http://getcomposer.org ).
```bash
# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
```
Next, run the Composer command to install the latest stable version of Guzzle:
```bash
2015-08-27 12:03:05 -07:00
composer.phar require guzzlehttp/guzzle
2015-08-17 17:00:26 -07:00
```
After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:
```php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```
2015-08-27 12:03:05 -07:00
You can then later update Guzzle using composer:
```bash
composer.phar update
```
