``` ### Status codes [](#status-codes) ``` $response = new HttpResponse(HttpStatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED); // or $response = new HttpResponse(401); $response->send(); ``` ``` HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Host: localhost Connection: close ``` ### Headers [](#headers) ``` $response = new HttpResponse(); $response->getHeaders()->set('foo', 'bar'); $response->send(); ``` ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Host: localhost Connection: close foo: bar ``` ### Cookies [](#cookies) ``` $response = new HttpResponse(); $response->getQueuedCookies()->add(new Cookie('foo', 'bar')); $response->send(); ``` ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Host: localhost Connection: close set-cookie: foo=bar; path=/; httpOnly ``` Custom responses ---------------- [](#custom-responses) ### HtmlResponse [](#htmlresponse) ``` $response = new HtmlResponse(); $response->setHtmlContent('Hello World!'); $response->send(); ``` ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Host: localhost Connection: close content-type: text/html Hello World! ``` ### JsonResponse [](#jsonresponse) ``` $response = new JsonResponse(); $response->getData()->set('Hello', 'World!'); $response->send(); ``` ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Host: localhost Connection: close content-type: application/json {"Hello":"World!"} ``` ### BasicAuthResponse [](#basicauthresponse) ``` $response = new BasicAuthResponse('Please login'); $response->send(); ``` ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Host: localhost Connection: close www-authenticate: basic realm="Please login" ``` Requests -------- [](#requests) ### Basic request [](#basic-request) It is very easy to build a custom request. ``` $request = new HttpRequest( HttpRequestMethod::POST, new Url('http://example.com') ); $request->setContent('foo=bar'); ``` ### GET parameters [](#get-parameters) ``` $request = new HttpRequest(); $request->getUrl()->getQuery()->set('foo', 'bar'); echo $request->getUrl()->getQuery(); // foo=bar ``` ### POST data [](#post-data) ``` $request = new HttpRequest(); $request->getData()->set('foo', 'bar'); $request->getData()->set('bar', 'foo'); echo $request->getContent(); // foo=bar&bar=foo ``` ### Headers [](#headers-1) You can access headers the same way as on the `HttpResponse` class. ``` $request = new HttpRequest(); $request->getHeaders()->set('foo', 'bar'); $request->getHeaders()->add('foo', 'foo'); var_dump($request->getHeaders()->get('foo')); // ['bar', 'foo'] echo $request->getHeaders()->find('foo'); // foo ``` ### Current Request [](#current-request) Sometimes it is nice to have an object that would represent the current received http request. ``` $request = new CurrentRequest(); var_dump($request->toArray()); // all the data that the server received from the client ``` ### Basic Authentication [](#basic-authentication) It is very easy to authenticate a request via basic auth. ``` $request = new HttpRequest(); $request->getBasicAuth()->setUsername('foo'); $request->getBasicAuth()->setPassword('bar'); echo $request->getBasicAuth()->getToken(); // Zm9vOmJhcg== echo $request->getHeaders()->find('authentication'); // Basic Zm9vOmJhcg== ``` Related Projects ---------------- [](#related-projects) - [URL](https://github.com/weew/url): used throughout the project. - [HTTP Client](https://github.com/weew/http-client): a simple http client that allows you to send and receive the standardized HttpRequest and HttpResponse objects. ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 75% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity76 Established project with proven stability How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~9 days Recently: every ~38 days Total 49 Last Release 3527d ago Major Versions v0.1.19 → v1.0.02015-11-16 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/10b2b854b5829dd13a15967c000ed2119b5faef67aca24d94c653c8ac550d85e?d=identicon)[weew](/maintainers/weew) ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/weew-http/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/weew-http/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/weew-http) ``` ### Alternatives [php-http/cache-plugin PSR-6 Cache plugin for HTTPlug 25126.1M81](/packages/php-http-cache-plugin)[illuminate/http The Illuminate Http package. 11937.9M6.8k](/packages/illuminate-http)[magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework Magento2 Functional Testing Framework 15312.0M36](/packages/magento-magento2-functional-testing-framework)[rdkafka/rdkafka A PHP extension for Kafka 2.2k24.3k1](/packages/rdkafka-rdkafka)[httpsoft/http-message Strict and fast implementation of PSR-7 and PSR-17 87965.9k114](/packages/httpsoft-http-message)[mezzio/mezzio-router Router subcomponent for Mezzio 265.4M89](/packages/mezzio-mezzio-router) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
