The `Request` class provides a comprehensive interface for handling HTTP requests in PHP applications. It simplifies accessing request data such as GET, POST, COOKIE, and SERVER variables, and includes methods for common request operations. Features -------- [](#features) - Easy retrieval of GET, POST, COOKIE, and SERVER data. - Convenience methods for checking the HTTP request method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). - Utilities for common tasks like checking for Ajax requests and secure connections. - Flexibility to extend or modify for custom use-cases. Installation ------------ [](#installation) To use this component, first ensure you have `fastpress/framework` installed. This `Request` class is a dependency of the framework and is meant to be used within its context. If you are managing your project with Composer, you can add this dependency directly by running: ``` composer require fastpress/request ``` Ensure that this aligns with the version constraints of fastpress/framework.
