Class Response

Implements methods for HTTP responses.

All of the following examples assume that $response is an instance of this class.

Get header values

Header names are case-insensitive, but normalized to Title-Case when the response is parsed.

$val = $response->getHeaderLine('content-type');

Will read the Content-Type header. You can get all set headers using:

$response->getHeaders();

Get the response body

You can access the response body stream using:

$content = $response->getBody();

You can get the body string using:

$content = $response->getStringBody();

If your response body is in XML or JSON you can use special content type specific accessors to read the decoded data. JSON data will be returned as arrays, while XML data will be returned as SimpleXML nodes:

// Get as xml
$content = $response->getXml()
// Get as json
$content = $response->getJson()

If the response cannot be decoded, null will be returned.

Check the status code

You can access the response status code using:

$content = $response->getStatusCode();

Method Detail

__construct()source public

__construct( array $headers = [] , string $body = '' )

isset/empty test with -> syntax.

Parameters

string $name: Property name.

Returns

boolean

_decodeGzipBody()source protected

_decodeGzipBody( string $body )

Uncompress a gzip response.

Looks for gzip signatures, and if gzinflate() exists, the body will be decompressed.

Parameters

string $body: Gzip encoded body.

Returns

string

Throws

RuntimeException
When attempting to decode gzip content without gzinflate.

_getBody()source protected

_getBody( )

Provides magic __get() support.

Returns

string

_getCookies()source protected

_getCookies( )

Property accessor for $this->cookies

Returns

array
Array of Cookie data.

_getHeaders()source protected

_getHeaders( )

Provides magic __get() support.

Returns

array

_getJson()source protected

_getJson( )

Get the response body as JSON decoded data.

Returns

array|null

_getXml()source protected

_getXml( )

Get the response body as XML decoded data.

Returns

null|SimpleXMLElement

_parseHeaders()source protected

_parseHeaders( array $headers )

Parses headers if necessary.

Decodes the status code and reasonphrase.
Parses and normalizes header names + values.

Parameters

array $headers: Headers to parse.

body()source public deprecated

body( callable|null $parser = null )

Get the response body.

By passing in a $parser callable, you can get the decoded response content back.

For example to get the json data as an object:

$body = $response->body('json_decode');

Deprecated

3.7.0 Use getStringBody()/getJson()/getXml() instead.

Parameters

callable|null $parser optional null: The callback to use to decode the response body.

Returns

mixed
The response body.

Overrides
