<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

$http = new CkHttp();

// Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
$http->put_SessionLogFilename('c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt');

// Perhaps add a custom header or two..
$http->SetRequestHeader('x-exz-date','20201012T235046Z');
$http->SetRequestHeader('x-exz-id','1234');

// Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
$url = 'https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc';
$reponseBodyStr = $http->quickDeleteStr($url);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    // This will happen if the response status code was 400 or greater,
    // or if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    $statusCode = $http->get_LastStatus();
    print 'Response status: ' . $statusCode . "\n";

    if ($statusCode == 0) {
        // There was an error in communications.  
        print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    }
    else {
        // We received a response status code indicating failure.
        // Examine the response body.
        print $http->lastResponseBody() . "\n";
    }

    exit;
}

// The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
// The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

// 	DELETE /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
// 	Host: www.example.com
// 	Accept: */*
// 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
// 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
// 	x-exz-id: 1234

// Get the response status
$statusCode = $http->get_LastStatus();
print 'Response status: ' . $statusCode . "\n";

// Show the response body
print $reponseBodyStr . "\n";
