sbsedv/input-converter
======================

[](#sbsedvinput-converter)

A minimal PHP component to nativly support user input parsing on http methods other than POST.

PHP natively only supports the parsing of multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded on POST http requests.

Many modern web applications also want use / support a) other http methods like PUT or PATCH and b) other content encodings like JSON or XML.

This component provides a very simple and extensible object oriented api to support just that.

Internally this component uses the PHP native functions [json\_decode](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode) and [parse\_str](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str) (multpart/form-data gets "translated" to x-www-form-urlencoded) and therefore complex data structures (arrays and objects) are only limited by what those functions support.
This effectifly means that HTMLForms like the following are `FULLY supported`.

```

        ...

        ...

```

**How it Works**
----------------

[](#how-it-works)

You should instantiate and call this component as early in your app lifecycle as possible.

You **MUST** either pass a [PSR-7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) or [HTTP-Foundation](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/http_foundation.html) request wrapper object to the "convert" method.
