php - pecl_http add post request body in hotelbeds apitude -

recently started working hotelbeds apitude php api

i trying add xml code post request body using pecl_http. tried following code -

$xml_part = <<< eod                 <<<xml part>>> eod;  $request = new http\client\request("post",                     $endpoint,                     ["api-key" => $hotel_beds_config['api_key'],                         "x-signature" => $signature,                         "content-type" => "application/xml",                         "accept" => "application/xml"],                     $xml_part                 ); 

i got following error

fatal error: uncaught typeerror: argument 4 passed http\client\request::__construct() must instance of http\message\body, string given

then tried following code -

$request = new http\client\request("post",                     $endpoint,                     ["api-key" => $hotel_beds_config['api_key'],                         "x-signature" => $signature,                         "content-type" => "application/xml",                         "accept" => "application/xml"],                     new http\message\body($xml_part) 

now following error -

fatal error: uncaught http\exception\invalidargumentexception: http\message\body::__construct() expects parameter 1 resource, string given

i documentation add body message here -

pecl_http

how can add xml code post request?

according http\message\body::__construct() constructor documentation, single parameter optionally accepts stream or file handle resource (as in fopen()). not directly accept string data ave provided in $xml_part.

instead, pecl http provides an append() method on body class should able use append xml onto empty body. start creating body object in variable, append xml onto it. finally, pass body object request object.

// create body object first, no argument $body = new http\message\body(); // append xml $body->append($xml_part);  // create request , pass $body $request = new http\client\request("post",                 $endpoint,                 ["api-key" => $hotel_beds_config['api_key'],                     "x-signature" => $signature,                     "content-type" => "application/xml",                     "accept" => "application/xml"],                 // pass in $body                 $body             );  // create \http\client object, enqueue, , send request... $client = new \http\client(); // set options needed application... $client->enqueue($request); $client->send(); 

addendum: why not use sdk?

the api attempting post provides php sdk. if sdk supports availability function hoping use, perhaps simpler use rather pecl_http (which has limited documentation). sdk abstract of http messaging series of php methods , properties, eliminating doubt on proper construction of post requests.
