sink

Summary

Specify where the body of a response will be saved.

Types

• string (path to file on disk)
• fopen() resource
• Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface

Default

PHP temp stream

Constant

GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions::SINK

Pass a string to specify the path to a file that will store the contents of the response body:

$client->request('GET', '/stream/20', ['sink' => '/path/to/file']);

Pass a resource returned from fopen() to write the response to a PHP stream:

$resource = fopen('/path/to/file', 'w');
$client->request('GET', '/stream/20', ['sink' => $resource]);

Pass a Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface object to stream the response body to an open PSR-7 stream.

$resource = fopen('/path/to/file', 'w');
$stream = GuzzleHttp\Psr7\stream_for($resource);
$client->request('GET', '/stream/20', ['save_to' => $stream]);

Note

The save_to request option has been deprecated in favor of the sink request option. Providing the save_to option is now an alias of sink.
