# Guzzle PSR-7

`guzzlehttp/psr7` is a PSR-7 HTTP message implementation for PHP. It provides
request, response, URI, uploaded file, and stream objects that work with Guzzle
and any other library using the PSR-7 interfaces.

Use this package directly when you need to create or inspect PSR-7 messages
without sending HTTP requests. If you only want to make HTTP requests, install
[`guzzlehttp/guzzle`](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/blob/8.0/README.md)
instead; it already depends on this package.

## Installation

```bash
composer require guzzlehttp/psr7
```

## Version Guidance

| Version | Status       | PHP Version  |
|---------|--------------|--------------|
| 3.0     | Latest       | >=7.4,<8.6   |
| 2.13    | Maintenance  | >=7.2.5,<8.6 |
| 1.9     | End of Life  | >=5.4,<8.2   |

## Quick Start

```php
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Utils;

$request = new Request('GET', 'https://example.com/api');
$response = new Response(200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'], 'OK');
$stream = Utils::streamFor('request or response body');

echo $request->getMethod();
echo $response->getStatusCode();
echo $stream;
```

PSR-7 messages and URIs are immutable. Methods such as `withHeader()` and
`withUri()` return a changed copy instead of modifying the original object.
Streams are mutable body handles; reading, writing, seeking, and closing a
stream can change its cursor, contents, or usability.

```php
$request = $request->withHeader('Accept', 'application/json');
```
