(PHP Extension) Send JSON REST Request, Get JSON Response

Demonstrates sending a RESTful JSON request, and receiving a JSON response. This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage (which involves sending and receiving JSON).

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 will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

// It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$gAuth = new CkAuthGoogle();
// Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
// See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
// See Get Access Token using a P12 File

$rest = new CkRest();

// Connect using TLS.
$bAutoReconnect = true;
$success = $rest->Connect('www.googleapis.com',443,true,$bAutoReconnect);

// Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
$success = $rest->SetAuthGoogle($gAuth);

// Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
// The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
// to make a better example..
$jsonReqBody = new CkJsonObject();
$success = $jsonReqBody->AddStringAt(-1,'name','chilkat-bucket-c');
$success = $jsonReqBody->AddStringAt(-1,'kind','storage#bucket');
$success = $jsonReqBody->AddStringAt(-1,'location','US');
$success = $jsonReqBody->AddObjectAt(-1,'versioning');

// pObjVersioning is a CkJsonObject
$pObjVersioning = $jsonReqBody->ObjectOf('versioning');
$success = $pObjVersioning->AddBoolAt(-1,'enabled',true);

// Show the HTTP request body we'll be sending.
print $jsonReqBody->emit() . "\n";

// Add the required query parameter.
// See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/insert
$success = $rest->AddQueryParam('project','chilkattest-1050');

// Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
$success = $rest->AddHeader('Content-Type','application/json; charset=UTF-8');

if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Show the JSON response.  (See below for a sample JSON response.)
print 'Json Response: ' . $jsonResponseStr . "\n";
