php-guzzleHow to set a user agent in PHP Guzzle?

Setting a user agent in PHP Guzzle is easy. You can do it by passing a User-Agent header to the request.

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('GET', 'http://example.com', [
    'headers' => [
        'User-Agent' => 'MyApp/1.0'
    ]
]);

The output of the above code will be a GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response object.

Code explanation

1. $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client(); - This creates a new Guzzle client.
2. $response = $client->request('GET', 'http://example.com', [ - This sends a GET request to http://example.com.
3. 'headers' => [ - This sets the headers for the request.
4. 'User-Agent' => 'MyApp/1.0' - This sets the User-Agent header to MyApp/1.0.
5. ]); - This closes the array of headers.
