php-guzzleHow to log requests with Guzzle in PHP?

Logging requests with Guzzle in PHP is easy and straightforward. To enable logging, you need to create a logger object and pass it to the Guzzle client.

$logger = new \Monolog\Logger('guzzle');
$logger->pushHandler(new \Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler('guzzle.log'));

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client([
    'handler' => \GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack::create(),
    'logger' => $logger
]);

The above code will create a logger object and pass it to the Guzzle client. The logger will write the log messages to the guzzle.log file.
