How to send a Guzzle request with a custom HTTP method in PHP?

To send a Guzzle request with a custom HTTP method in PHP, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install Guzzle using Composer by adding the following line to your composer.json file:

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

    Then, run composer install to install Guzzle.

  2. Import the necessary namespaces at the beginning of your PHP file:

    use GuzzleHttp\Client; use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
  3. Create a new instance of Guzzle's Client class:

    $client = new Client();
  4. Create a new Request object with your custom HTTP method, URL, and any other required options:

    $request = new Request('CUSTOM_METHOD', 'https://example.com/api/endpoint', [ 'headers' => [ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', 'Authorization' => 'Bearer ABC123' ], 'body' => '{"param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"}' ]);
  5. Send the request using the send method of the Guzzle client:

    $response = $client->send($request);

The above example illustrates sending a custom HTTP method request with a JSON payload and headers. You can modify it to meet your specific requirements.
