======== Overview

Requirements

#. PHP 7.2.5 #. To use the PHP stream handler, allow_url_fopen must be enabled in your system's php.ini. #. To use the cURL handler, you must have a recent version of cURL >= 7.19.4 compiled with OpenSSL and zlib.

.. note::

Guzzle no longer requires cURL in order to send HTTP requests. Guzzle will
use 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.
Keep in mind that cURL is still required for sending concurrent requests.

Installation

The recommended way to install Guzzle is with Composer <https://getcomposer.org>_. Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP that allows you to declare the dependencies your project needs and installs them into your project.

.. code-block:: bash

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

You can add Guzzle as a dependency using Composer:

.. code-block:: bash

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:^7.0

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

.. code-block:: js

{
  "require": {
     "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^7.0"
  }

}

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

.. code-block:: php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

You can find out more on how to install Composer, configure autoloading, and other best-practices for defining dependencies at getcomposer.org <https://getcomposer.org>_.

Bleeding edge

During your development, you can keep up with the latest changes on the master branch by setting the version requirement for Guzzle to ^7.0@dev.

.. code-block:: js

{ "require": { "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^7.0@dev" } }

Contributing

Guidelines

  1. Guzzle utilizes PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-4, and PSR-7.
  2. Guzzle is meant to be lean and fast with very few dependencies. This means that not every feature request will be accepted.
  3. Guzzle has a minimum PHP version requirement of PHP 7.2. Pull requests must not require a PHP version greater than PHP 7.2 unless the feature is only utilized conditionally and the file can be parsed by PHP 7.2.
  4. All pull requests must include unit tests to ensure the change works as expected and to prevent regressions.

Running the tests

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

.. code-block:: bash

git clone https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle.git
cd guzzle && composer install

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

.. code-block:: bash

make test

.. note::

You'll need to install node.js v8 or newer in order to perform integration
tests on Guzzle's HTTP handlers.
