(PHP ActiveX) QuickGetObj Example

The QuickGetObj method is called to send a GET request and receive the response as an HttpResponse object.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
// resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
$resp = $http->QuickGetObj('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf');
if ($http->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    // This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the response status
$statusCode = $resp->StatusCode;
print 'Response status: ' . $statusCode . "\n";

// In this example, we want a 200 status code.
if ($statusCode == 200) {
    // Save the response body to a file.
    // Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
    // It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
    $success = $resp->SaveBodyBinary('qa_output/hello.pdf');
    if ($success == 0) {
        print 'Failed to write output file.' . "\n";
    }
    else {
        print 'Wrote hello.pdf' . "\n";
    }

}
else {
    // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    print $resp->BodyStr . "\n";
