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();

Parameters

string $version: HTTP protocol version

Returns

static

withStatus() ¶ public

withStatus(int $code, string $reasonPhrase = ''): $this

Return an instance with the specified status code and, optionally, reason phrase.

If no reason phrase is specified, implementations MAY choose to default to the RFC 7231 or IANA recommended reason phrase for the response's status code.

Parameters

int $code: The status code to set.
string $reasonPhrase optional: The status reason phrase.

$this

withoutHeader() ¶ public

withoutHeader(string $header): static

Return an instance without the specified header.

Header resolution MUST be done without case-sensitivity.
