php-rest

A rest client to make consuming rest services easier in PHP. This library will automatically decode json response to php array where response content type is application/json. JSON serialization is used in most modern rest services. So you can focus on your application code without worrying about decoding your self.

This library depends on php5 curl library. You can install it using sudo apt-get install php5-curl or yum install php5-curl

The constructor takes an optional base url, this makes consuming api from a single source much easier.

##Api

//constructor
new RestClient($baseURL="", $debugMode=false)

//methods
public function doGet($url, $params=array())
public function doPost($url, $params)
public function doPut($url, $params)
public function doDelete($url, $params=array())

##Examples

<?php
  include '../lib/santoshsahoo/phprest/restclient.class.php';

  use santoshsahoo\phprest\RestClient;
     
  $client = new RestClient('https://api.example.com/v1');
  
  $apiversion = $client->doGet('/version'); //text
  
  $data = $client->doPost('/sum', array('x'=>1, 'y'=>2)); //json
  $result1 = $data['result'];
    
  $data = $client->doPut('/multiply', array('x'=>5, 'y'=>3));
  $result2 = $data['result'];
?>

Or as

<?php
  include '../lib/santoshsahoo/phprest/restclient.class.php';

  use santoshsahoo\phprest\RestClient;
     
  $client = new RestClient();
  $user = array('email'=>'jdoe@gmail.com', 'name'=>'John Doe', 'age'=>25);
  $data = $client->doPut('http://api.example.com/v2/user', $user); //json
  $uid = $data['uid'];
?>
