php-guzzleHow to download an image with Guzzle in PHP?

Using Guzzle in PHP to download an image is easy. Here is an example code block to do so:

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('GET', 'http://example.com/image.jpg');
$image = $response->getBody();
file_put_contents('image.jpg', $image);

This code will download the image from the URL http://example.com/image.jpg and save it as image.jpg in the same directory.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client(); - This creates a new Guzzle client.
2. $response = $client->request('GET', 'http://example.com/image.jpg'); - This sends a GET request to the URL http://example.com/image.jpg and stores the response in the $response variable.
3. $image = $response->getBody(); - This extracts the body of the response and stores it in the $image variable.
4. file_put_contents('image.jpg', $image); - This saves the image data stored in the $image variable as image.jpg in the same directory.

For more information, see the Guzzle documentation.
