[](#http-base)

- PSR-0 compliant
- Easy to use
- Stable

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add `outglow/httpbase` to your composer.json file

```
{

        "outglow/httpbase" : "dev-master"
    }
}

```

Then run: `php composer.phar install`(NOTE: An update may be required first)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Receiving requests

[](#receiving-requests)

Http Base allows you to look at `GET` and `POST` requests, and deal with them in an elegant manner. Below is an example of how you set it up:

```
include('vendor/autoload.php');

use Outglow\Component\HttpBase\HttpBase;

$http = new HttpBase();

```

We can now use the `$http` variable to access data sent using either a `GET` or `POST` request. Let's say `name` has been passed into our query string

```
http://example.com/index.php?name=Harry

```

We can access `name` like so:

```
$name = $http->query->get('name');

```

We can also do the same if name has been sent using a `POST` request:

```
$name = $http->query->post('name');

```

It even allows us to access all `POST` or `GET` variables by not passing anything through:

```
$getVars = $http->query->get();

```

The same will work with `POST`.

### Making requests

[](#making-requests)

HttpBase makes good use of curl, and callbacks. Below is an example of how we could make a simple `GET` request:

```
$response = $http->make->get('http://graph.facebook.com/zuck');

```

This will return:

```
{
   "id": "4",
   "name": "Mark Zuckerberg",
   "first_name": "Mark",
   "last_name": "Zuckerberg",
   "link": "https://www.facebook.com/zuck",
   "username": "zuck",
   "gender": "male",
   "locale": "en_US"
}

```

We can do the same using `POST`, `HEAD`, `PUT` and `DELETE` requests, and you can also add any params for the request as an array:

```
$http->make->get($url, array());
$http->make->post($url, array());
$http->make->head($url, array());
$http->make->put($url, array());
$http->make->delete($url, array());

```

### Extended

[](#extended)

HttpBase makes good use of callbacks. This involves having an option third param and can be used like so:

```
$http->make->get('http://graph.facebok.com/zuck', array(), function($data) {
  print_r(json_decode($data), true);
});

```

In the example above, we have make a request to Facebook, and used `print_r` to out put the response in the form of an array inside of the function. The `$data` variable is passed through. This is just our response from the Http request.
