php-guzzleHow to make an HTTP POST request with JSON using PHP Guzzle?

Making an HTTP POST request with JSON using PHP Guzzle is easy. You can use the post() method of the Guzzle client to make a POST request. Here is an example code block:

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->post('http://example.com/api/endpoint', [
    'json' => [
        'key1' => 'value1',
        'key2' => 'value2'
    ]
]);

The output of the example code will be an instance of GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response class.

Code explanation

1. $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client(); - This creates a new Guzzle client instance.
2. $response = $client->post('http://example.com/api/endpoint', [ - This makes a POST request to the specified endpoint.
3. 'json' => [ - This specifies that the request body should be in JSON format.
4. 'key1' => 'value1', - This is an example of a key-value pair that will be sent in the request body.
5. ]); - This closes the array and sends the request.
