Ah BTW, did I mention that it's really easy to use ? v1.0-p8(9y ago)72121CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0PHPPHP >=5.3.0 Since Nov 11Pushed 9y ago3 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/Max13/MXRequestManager-PHP)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/max13/rest-manager)[ Docs](http://github.com/Max13/MXRequestManager-PHP)[ RSS](/packages/max13-rest-manager/feed)WikiDiscussions master Synced 3d ago READMEChangelogDependencies (1)Versions (10)Used By (1) MXRequestManager-PHP ==================== [](#mxrequestmanager-php) Note ---- [](#note) This is an old README, when the lib wasn't installable by composer. I'm on it, there are only some changes related to autoload, Required -------- [](#required) - PHP >= `5.3` - php-curl (with SSL if required) - APIs which return `JSON` encoded data (More structures are coming) - Brain >= `Working` How to download --------------- [](#how-to-download) There are several ways to download **MxRequestManager-PHP**: - Install with composer (`"max13/rest-manager": "dev-master"`) - Clone the [github repository](https://github.com/Max13/MXRequestManager-PHP) with `git clone []` - Download the zip file on [github](https://github.com/Max13/MXRequestManager-PHP) directly - Try to find another one by yourself :/ Then place it where you want (readable location, in order to load it). How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) Captain Obvious is so Obvious, that this is truly the most interesting part of the README. You can find a Doxygen doc somewhere, you'll just see how to basically use the library. First of all, let's take a simple example. You have your APIs (`api.awsome-guy.com`) and you want to retrieve a member list from your **users** resource, with a **GET**. JSON string would be: ``` { users:[ { "id": 4, "username": "foo" }, { "id": 12, "username": "bar" } ] } ``` ``` ``` From there, you must verify `$res` because it can be 3 types (so check the type too with `===`) ``` // MXRequestManager error, // errno are in the top of the lib file if ($res === FALSE) die('Client error: '.$mx->errno()); if ($res === TRUE) // No JSON, may be a PHP Error die('Parse error: '.$mx->response('body')); ``` And after that and your own checks (for example, if the property `errors` is present), you can safely use $res as a `stdClass`: ``` ``` And this example will output: ``` User n0: 4 4 / foo 12 / bar ``` That's it. You can already use `MXRequestManager` ! How to check the entire response ? ---------------------------------- [](#how-to-check-the-entire-response-) This is simple, you can call: ``` ``` How to check the headers ? -------------------------- [](#how-to-check-the-headers-) `MXRequestManager` is intelligent and smart enough to allow you to check the headers simply. Here is an example header: ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:49:22 GMT Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.21 Content-Encoding: gzip Vary: Accept-Encoding ``` When processed, every line are split and stored in an array, accessible by a key, corresponding to the part before the semicolon (`:`) of each line, except for the first line which has for key `Status` and the `HTTP code` accessible with in `Code`. There is an internal multi-dimentional array which contains 2 root keys: `headers` and `body`: - `headers` contains an associative array of the header's values - `body` is the body returned as a `string` Nothing better than an example: ``` ``` Additional notes ---------------- [](#additional-notes) A sort of manual will come soon... ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
