6.1. Introduction

Zend_HttpClient provides an easy interface with which to perform HTTP requests. Zend_HttpClient is able to perform GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests.

[Note] Note
Zend_HttpClient follows up to 5 HTTP redirections by default. To change this behavior, pass the maximum number of allowed redirections to the get() method.

Example 6.1. Performing a Basic GET Request

<?php
require_once 'Zend/HttpClient.php';
try {
    $http = new Zend_HttpClient('http://example.org');
    $response = $http->get();
    if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
        echo $response->getBody();
    } else {
        echo '<p>An error occurred</p>';
    }
} catch (Zend_HttpClient_Exception $e) {
    echo '<p>An error occurred (' .$e->getMessage(). ')</p>';
}
?>
