# Httpful
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/nategood/httpful.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/nategood/httpful)
[Httpful](http://phphttpclient.com) is a simple Http Client library for PHP 5.3+. There is an emphasis of readability, simplicity, and flexibility basically provide the features and flexibility to get the job done and make those features really easy to use.
Features
- Readable HTTP Method Support (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD, PATCH and OPTIONS)
- Custom Headers
- Automatic "Smart" Parsing
- Automatic Payload Serialization
- Basic Auth
- Client Side Certificate Auth
- Request "Templates"
# Sneak Peak
Here's something to whet your appetite. Search the twitter API for tweets containing "#PHP". Include a trivial header for the heck of it. Notice that the library automatically interprets the response as JSON (can override this if desired) and parses it as an array of objects.
$url = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=" . urlencode('#PHP');
$response = Request::get($url)
->withXTrivialHeader('Just as a demo')
->send();
foreach ($response->body->results as $tweet) {
echo "@{$tweet->from_user} tweets \"{$tweet->text}\"\n";
}
# Installation
## Phar
A [PHP Archive](http://php.net/manual/en/book.phar.php) (or .phar) file is available for [downloading](https://github.com/nategood/httpful/downloads). Simply [download](https://github.com/nategood/httpful/downloads) the .phar, drop it into your project, and include it like you would any other php file. _This method is ideal smaller projects, one off scripts, and quick API hacking_.
<?php
include('httpful.phar');
$r = \Httpful\Request::get($uri)->sendIt();
...
## Composer
Httpful is PSR-0 compliant and can be installed using [composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Simply add `nategood/httpful` to your composer.json file. _Composer is the sane alternative to PEAR. It is excellent for managing dependancies in larger projects_.
{
"require": {
"nategood/httpful": "*"
}
}
## Install from Source
Because Httpful is PSR-0 compliant, you can also just clone the Httpful repository and use a PSR-0 compatible autoloader to load the library, like [Symfony's](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/class_loader.html). Alternatively you can use the PSR-0 compliant autoloader included with the Httpful (simply `require("bootstrap.php")`).
