php-rest-client

This library provides classes implementing basic REST clients based on PHP's cURL extension. Two client classes are made available:

• RestClient - a class for executing RESTful service calls.
• RestMultiClient - a class which extends RestClient to provide curl_multi capabilities to allow multiple RESTful calls to be made in parallel.

Additionally, this library provides classes which wrap curl responses within object oriented interface:

• CurlHttpResponse - a class which encapsulates an HTTP response received via cURL into a class wrapper.
• CurlMultiHttpResponse - a class which represents a collection of CurlHttpRepsonse objects as returned from multiple parallel cURL calls.

These classes support:

• HTTP actions - GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and HEAD
• Basic authentication
• SSL, with the ability to toggle SSL certificate validation to help in development/test enviroments

Requires:

• PHP 5.6+
• PHP cURL extension
• PHPUnit 5.7+ (for unit tests only)

This library is developed against PHP 7.1 and tested via Travis CI against:

• PHP 5.6.*
• PHP 7.0.*
• PHP 7.1.*
• PHP Nightly build

Usage example:

<?php

use MikeBrant\RestClientLib;

/**
 * Single request using RestClient
 */
$restClient = new RestClient();
$restClient->setRemoteHost('foo.bar.com')
           ->setUriBase('/some_service/')
           ->setUseSsl(true)
           ->setUseSslTestMode(false)
           ->setBasicAuthCredentials('username', 'password')
           ->setHeaders(array('Accept' => 'application/json'));
// make requests against service
$response = $restClient->get('resource');
$response = $restClient->post('resource', $data);
$response = $restClient->put('resource', $data);
$response = $restClient->delete('resource');
$response = $restClient->head('resource');

/**
 * Multiple parallel requests using RestMultiClient
 */
$restMultiClient = new RestMultiClient();
$restMultiClient->setRemoteHost('foo.bar.com')
                ->setUriBase('/some_service/')
                ->setUseSsl(true)
                ->setUseSslTestMode(false)
                ->setBasicAuthCredentials('username', 'password')
                ->setHeaders(array('Accept' => 'application/json'));
// make requests against service
$responses = $restMultiClient->get(['resource1', 'resource2', ...]);
$responses = $restMultiClient->post(['resource1', 'resource2', ...], [$data1, $data2, ...]);
$responses = $restMultiClient->put(['resource1', 'resource2', ...], [$data1, $data2, ...]);
$responses = $restMultiClient->delete(['resource1', 'resource2', ...]);
$responses = $restMultiClient->head(['resource1', 'resource2', ...]);
