php-guzzleHow to use form data with PHP Guzzle?

Using PHP Guzzle to work with form data is quite simple.

$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 response from the server.
