This package let's you check the status of a URL to easily check if it's "online" or not. Uses PSR 1/2. It uses Guzzle for communicating with the URLs.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require viirre/urlchecker
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

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

$url = 'http://www.google.com';
$checker = new \Viirre\UrlChecker\Checker();
$status = $checker->check($url);

if ($status->isRespondingOk()) {
    echo "Url {$url} is responding ok, woho!";
} elseif ($status->isRespondingButNotOk()) {
    echo "Url {$url} is responding, but with status code: " . $status->getStatusCode() . " and reason for not a 200: " . $status->getReason();
} elseif ($status->isNotResponding()) {
    echo "Url {$url} is NOT responding ok, fail reason: " . $status->getReason();
}
```

There are plenty of stuff to check about the connection, to get how long the connection took, use:

```
$timeInSeconds = $status->getTimeInSeconds();
$timeInMilliSeconds = $status->getTimeInMilliSeconds();
```

And if you want to drill down further, you can access the underlying GuzzleHttp\\Message\\Response object to access all it's info, eg:

```
$response = $status->getResponse();

// Get protocol info from the response
$protocol = $response->getProtocolVersion();
```

Checkout the Guzzle Response class with all the available functions at [Guzzles API](http://api.guzzlephp.org/class-Guzzle.Http.Message.Response.html)
