PHP Negotiator
==============

[](#php-negotiator)

A minimal PHP content negotiation library to process common headers such as media types, encodings, charsets and so on.

Quite a few concepts are taken from [Negotiator](https://github.com/federomero/negotiator).

Accept (Media Types)
====================

[](#accept-media-types)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$negotiator = new Negotiator\Parser([
	'accept-charset' => 'utf-8, iso-8859-1;q=0.8, utf-7;q=0.2',
	'accept' => 'text/html, application/*;q=0.2, image/jpeg;q=0.8',
	'accept-language' => 'en;q=0.8, es, pt',
	'accept-encoding' => 'gzip, compress;q=0.2, identity;q=0.5',
]);

$available = ['text/html', 'text/plain', 'application/json'];

$negotiator->preferredMediaTypes();
// ['text/html', 'image/jpeg', 'application/*']

$negotiator->preferredMediaTypes($available);
// ['text/html', 'application/json']

$negotiator->preferredMediaType($available);
// 'text/html'
```

Do note that you must retrieve the headers yourself and standardise the keys to lowercase representations (e.g. 'accept' vs. 'Accept').
