php-guzzleHow to post data in PHP Guzzle?

Posting data in PHP Guzzle is easy and straightforward. The following example code block shows how to post data using Guzzle:

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('POST', 'http://httpbin.org/post', [
    'form_params' => [
        'field_name' => 'abc',
        'other_field' => '123',
        'nested_field' => [
            'nested' => 'hello'
        ]
    ]
]);

The output of the above code will be a response object containing the posted data:

{
  "args": {},
  "data": "",
  "files": {},
  "form": {
    "field_name": "abc",
    "nested_field": {
      "nested": "hello"
    },
    "other_field": "123"
  },
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Content-Length": "60",
    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",
    "User-Agent": "GuzzleHttp/6.3.3 curl/7.54.0 PHP/7.2.10"
  },
  "json": null,
  "origin": "203.0.113.2",
  "url": "http://httpbin.org/post"
}

The code consists of the following parts:

1. $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client(); - This creates a new Guzzle client object.

2. $response = $client->request('POST', 'http://httpbin.org/post', [ - This sends a POST request to the specified URL.

3. 'form_params' => [ - This specifies the form parameters to be sent with the request.

4. 'field_name' => 'abc', - This is an example of a form parameter.

5. ]); - This closes the form parameters array and the request method.
