php-guzzleHow to stream with PHP Guzzle?

Streaming with PHP Guzzle is a great way to make HTTP requests and receive responses in a continuous stream. To stream with Guzzle, you need to use the stream option when making a request.

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('GET', 'http://example.com', [
    'stream' => true
]);

The response will be a GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Stream object, which can be used to read the response body in chunks.

$body = $response->getBody();
while (!$body->eof()) {
    echo $body->read(1024);
}

The code above will read the response body in chunks of 1024 bytes and echo them out.

The parts of the code are:

• $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();: This creates a new Guzzle client.
• $response = $client->request('GET', 'http://example.com', ['stream' => true]);: This makes a GET request to the given URL with the stream option set to true.
• $body = $response->getBody();: This gets the response body as a GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Stream object.
• while (!$body->eof()) {: This starts a loop that will run until the end of the stream is reached.
• echo $body->read(1024);: This reads 1024 bytes from the stream and echoes them out.
