php-guzzleHow to use PHP Guzzle to make a basic auth request?

Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web services. To make a basic auth request with Guzzle, you need to create a client and pass the username and password as part of the request options.

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

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

Code explanation

1. $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client(); - creates a new Guzzle client instance.
2. $response = $client->request('GET', 'http://example.com', [ - sends a GET request to the specified URL.
3. 'auth' => ['username', 'password'] - passes the username and password as part of the request options.
4. ]); - closes the request options array.
