Utilizing the HTTP_Request2 Class
For advanced scenarios, the HTTP_Request2 class from the PEAR package offers a convenient object-oriented approach. It provides features like handling redirects, cookies, and custom headers.
Example:
PHP
<?php // Install PEAR's HTTP_Request2 package // using Composer // composer require pear/http_request2 // Include Composer autoload require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Specify the URL and data $url = 'https://example.com/'; $data = ['key' => 'value']; // Create HTTP_Request2 object $request = new HTTP_Request2($url, HTTP_Request2::METHOD_GET); $request->addPostParameter($data); // Send the request and get the response try { $response = $request->send()->getBody(); // Display the response echo $response; } catch (HTTP_Request2_Exception $e) { die('Error occurred while fetching the data: ' . $e->getMessage()); } ?> |
Install the HTTP_Request2 package using Composer. Include the Composer autoload file. Define the target URL and the data to be sent. Create an HTTP_Request2 object with the POST method and parameters. Send the request using send() and retrieve the response with getBody() Function. Display the received response.
