Overview

Requirements

  • PHP 5.5.0
  • To use the PHP stream handler, allow_url_fopen must be enabled in yoursystem's php.ini.
  • To use the cURL handler, you must have a recent version of cURL >= 7.19.4compiled with OpenSSL and zlib.

Note

Guzzle no longer requires cURL in order to send HTTP requests. Guzzle willuse the PHP stream wrapper to send HTTP requests if cURL is not installed.Alternatively, you can provide your own HTTP handler used to send requests.

Installation

The recommended way to install Guzzle is withComposer. Composer is a dependency management toolfor PHP that allows you to declare the dependencies your project needs andinstalls them into your project.

  1. # Install Composer
  2. curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You can add Guzzle as a dependency using the composer.phar CLI:

  1. php composer.phar require guzzlehttp/guzzle:~6.0

Alternatively, you can specify Guzzle as a dependency in your project'sexisting composer.json file:

  1.  {
  2.    "require": {
  3.       "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~6.0"
  4.    }
  5. }

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

  1. require 'vendor/autoload.php';

You can find out more on how to install Composer, configure autoloading, andother best-practices for defining dependencies at getcomposer.org.

Bleeding edge

During your development, you can keep up with the latest changes on the masterbranch by setting the version requirement for Guzzle to ~6.0@dev.

  1. {
  2.    "require": {
  3.       "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~6.0@dev"
  4.    }
  5. }

Guidelines

  • Guzzle utilizes PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-4, and PSR-7.
  • Guzzle is meant to be lean and fast with very few dependencies. This meansthat not every feature request will be accepted.
  • Guzzle has a minimum PHP version requirement of PHP 5.5. Pull requests mustnot require a PHP version greater than PHP 5.5 unless the feature is onlyutilized conditionally.
  • All pull requests must include unit tests to ensure the change works asexpected and to prevent regressions.

Running the tests

In order to contribute, you'll need to checkout the source from GitHub andinstall Guzzle's dependencies using Composer:

  1. git clone https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle.git
  2. cd guzzle && curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php && ./composer.phar install --dev

Guzzle is unit tested with PHPUnit. Run the tests using the Makefile:

  1. make test

Note

You'll need to install node.js v0.5.0 or newer in order to performintegration tests on Guzzle's HTTP handlers.
