(PHP Extension) QuickGetObj Example

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

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?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();

// Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
// resp is a CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->QuickGetObj('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf');
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    // 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->get_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 == false) {
        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";
