class ServerRequest extends AbstractRequest implements ServerRequestInterface, MessageInterface, RequestInterface (View source)

Representation of an incoming, server-side HTTP request.

Per the HTTP specification, this interface includes properties for each of the following:

  • Protocol version
  • HTTP method
  • URI
  • Headers
  • Message body

Additionally, it encapsulates all data as it has arrived to the application from the CGI and/or PHP environment, including:

  • The values represented in $_SERVER.
  • Any cookies provided (generally via $_COOKIE)
  • Query string arguments (generally via $GET, or as parsed via parsestr())
  • Upload files, if any (as represented by $_FILES)
  • Deserialized body parameters (generally from $_POST)

Details

string getProtocolVersion()

Retrieves the HTTP protocol version as a string.

The string MUST contain only the HTTP version number (e.g., "1.1", "1.0").

Return Value

string HTTP protocol version.

AbstractMessage withProtocolVersion(string $version)

Return an instance with the specified HTTP protocol version.

The version string MUST contain only the HTTP version number (e.g., "1.1", "1.0").

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the new protocol version.

Parameters

string $version HTTP protocol version

Return Value

AbstractMessage

array getHeaders()

Retrieves all message header values.

The keys represent the header name as it will be sent over the wire, and each value is an array of strings associated with the header.

// Represent the headers as a string
foreach ($message->getHeaders() as $name => $values)
{
    echo $name . ": " . implode(", ", $values);
}

// Emit headers iteratively:
foreach ($message->getHeaders() as $name => $values)
{
    foreach ($values as $value) {
        header(sprintf('%s: %s', $name, $value), false);
    }
}

While header names are not case-sensitive, getHeaders() will preserve the exact case in which headers were originally specified.

Return Value

array Returns an associative array of the message's headers. Each key MUST be a header name, and each value MUST be an array of strings for that header.

bool hasHeader(string $name)

Checks if a header exists by the given case-insensitive name.

Parameters

string $name Case-insensitive header field name.

Return Value

bool Returns true if any header names match the given header name using a case-insensitive string comparison. Returns false if no matching header name is found in the message.

string[] getHeader(string $name)

Retrieves a message header value by the given case-insensitive name.

This method returns an array of all the header values of the given case-insensitive header name.

If the header does not appear in the message, this method MUST return an empty array.

Parameters

string $name Case-insensitive header field name.

Return Value

string[] An array of string values as provided for the given header. If the header does not appear in the message, this method MUST return an empty array.

string getHeaderLine(string $name)

Retrieves a comma-separated string of the values for a single header.

This method returns all of the header values of the given case-insensitive header name as a string concatenated together using a comma.

NOTE: Not all header values may be appropriately represented using comma concatenation. For such headers, use getHeader() instead and supply your own delimiter when concatenating.

If the header does not appear in the message, this method MUST return an empty string.

Parameters

string $name Case-insensitive header field name.

Return Value

string A string of values as provided for the given header concatenated together using a comma. If the header does not appear in the message, this method MUST return an empty string.

AbstractMessage withHeader(string $name, string|string[] $value)

Return an instance with the provided value replacing the specified header.

While header names are case-insensitive, the casing of the header will be preserved by this function, and returned from getHeaders().

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the new and/or updated header and value.

Parameters

string $name Case-insensitive header field name.
string|string[] $value Header value(s).

Return Value

AbstractMessage

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException for invalid header names or values.

AbstractMessage withAddedHeader(string $name, mixed $value)

Return an instance with the specified header appended with the given value.

Existing values for the specified header will be maintained. The new value(s) will be appended to the existing list. If the header did not exist previously, it will be added.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the new header and/or value.

Parameters

string $name Case-insensitive header field name to add.
mixed $value Header value(s).

Return Value

AbstractMessage

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException for invalid header names or values.

AbstractMessage withoutHeader(string $name)

Return an instance without the specified header.

Header resolution MUST be done without case-sensitivity.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that removes the named header.

Parameters

string $name Case-insensitive header field name to remove.

Return Value

AbstractMessage

StreamInterface getBody()

Gets the body of the message.

Return Value

StreamInterface Returns the body as a stream.

AbstractMessage withBody(StreamInterface $body)

Return an instance with the specified message body.

The body MUST be a StreamInterface object.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return a new instance that has the new body stream.

Parameters

StreamInterface $body Body.

Return Value

AbstractMessage

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException When the body is not valid.

__construct(array $serverParams = array(), array $uploadedFiles = array(), string|UriInterface $uri = null, string $method = null, string|StreamInterface $body = 'php://input', array $headers = array(), array $cookies = array(), array $queryParams = array(), string $parsedBody = null, string $protocol = '1.1')

Class init

Parameters

array $serverParams Server parameters, typically from $_SERVER
array $uploadedFiles Upload file information, a tree of UploadedFiles
string|UriInterface $uri The uri target of this request.
string $method The request method.
string|StreamInterface $body The request body.
array $headers The request headers.
array $cookies Cookie values, typically is $_COOKIE.
array $queryParams Http query, typically is $_GET.
string $parsedBody Parsed body, typically is $_POST.
string $protocol The protocol version, default is 1.1.

string getRequestTarget()

Retrieves the message's request target.

Retrieves the message's request-target either as it will appear (for clients), as it appeared at request (for servers), or as it was specified for the instance (see withRequestTarget()).

In most cases, this will be the origin-form of the composed URI, unless a value was provided to the concrete implementation (see withRequestTarget() below).

If no URI is available, and no request-target has been specifically provided, this method MUST return the string "/".

Return Value

string

AbstractRequest withRequestTarget(mixed $requestTarget)

Return an instance with the specific request-target.

If the request needs a non-origin-form request-target — e.g., for specifying an absolute-form, authority-form, or asterisk-form — this method may be used to create an instance with the specified request-target, verbatim.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the changed request target.

Parameters

mixed $requestTarget

Return Value

AbstractRequest

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException if the request target is invalid.

string getMethod()

Retrieves the HTTP method of the request.

Return Value

string Returns the request method.

AbstractRequest withMethod(string $method)

Return an instance with the provided HTTP method.

While HTTP method names are typically all uppercase characters, HTTP method names are case-sensitive and thus implementations SHOULD NOT modify the given string.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the changed request method.

Parameters

string $method Case-sensitive method.

Return Value

AbstractRequest

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException for invalid HTTP methods.

UriInterface getUri()

Retrieves the URI instance.

This method MUST return a UriInterface instance.

Return Value

UriInterface Returns a UriInterface instance representing the URI of the request.

AbstractRequest withUri(UriInterface $uri, bool $preserveHost = false)

Returns an instance with the provided URI.

This method MUST update the Host header of the returned request by default if the URI contains a host component. If the URI does not contain a host component, any pre-existing Host header MUST be carried over to the returned request.

You can opt-in to preserving the original state of the Host header by setting $preserveHost to true. When $preserveHost is set to true, this method interacts with the Host header in the following ways:

  • If the the Host header is missing or empty, and the new URI contains a host component, this method MUST update the Host header in the returned request.
  • If the Host header is missing or empty, and the new URI does not contain a host component, this method MUST NOT update the Host header in the returned request.
  • If a Host header is present and non-empty, this method MUST NOT update the Host header in the returned request.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the new UriInterface instance.

Parameters

UriInterface $uri New request URI to use.
bool $preserveHost Preserve the original state of the Host header.

Return Value

AbstractRequest

at line line 133
array getServerParams()

Retrieve server parameters.

Retrieves data related to the incoming request environment, typically derived from PHP's $SERVER superglobal. The data IS NOT REQUIRED to originate from $SERVER.

Return Value

array

at line line 148
array getCookieParams()

Retrieve cookies.

Retrieves cookies sent by the client to the server.

The data MUST be compatible with the structure of the $_COOKIE superglobal.

Return Value

array

at line line 171
ServerRequest withCookieParams(array $cookies)

Return an instance with the specified cookies.

The data IS NOT REQUIRED to come from the $COOKIE superglobal, but MUST be compatible with the structure of $COOKIE. Typically, this data will be injected at instantiation.

This method MUST NOT update the related Cookie header of the request instance, nor related values in the server params.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated cookie values.

Parameters

array $cookies Array of key/value pairs representing cookies.

Return Value

ServerRequest

at line line 192
array getQueryParams()

Retrieve query string arguments.

Retrieves the deserialized query string arguments, if any.

Note: the query params might not be in sync with the URI or server params. If you need to ensure you are only getting the original values, you may need to parse the query string from getUri()->getQuery() or from the QUERY_STRING server param.

Return Value

array

at line line 220
ServerRequest withQueryParams(array $query)

Return an instance with the specified query string arguments.

These values SHOULD remain immutable over the course of the incoming request. They MAY be injected during instantiation, such as from PHP's $GET superglobal, or MAY be derived from some other value such as the URI. In cases where the arguments are parsed from the URI, the data MUST be compatible with what PHP's parsestr() would return for purposes of how duplicate query parameters are handled, and how nested sets are handled.

Setting query string arguments MUST NOT change the URI stored by the request, nor the values in the server params.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated query string arguments.

Parameters

array $query Array of query string arguments, typically from $_GET.

Return Value

ServerRequest

at line line 241
UploadedFileInterface[] getUploadedFiles()

Retrieve normalized file upload data.

This method returns upload metadata in a normalized tree, with each leaf an instance of Psr\Http\Message\UploadedFileInterface.

These values MAY be prepared from $_FILES or the message body during instantiation, or MAY be injected via withUploadedFiles().

Return Value

UploadedFileInterface[] An array tree of UploadedFileInterface instances; an empty array MUST be returned if no data is present.

at line line 258
ServerRequest withUploadedFiles(array $uploadedFiles)

Create a new instance with the specified uploaded files.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated body parameters.

Parameters

array $uploadedFiles An array tree of UploadedFileInterface instances.

Return Value

ServerRequest

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException if an invalid structure is provided.

at line line 287
null|array|object getParsedBody()

Retrieve any parameters provided in the request body.

If the request Content-Type is either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data, and the request method is POST, this method MUST return the contents of $_POST.

Otherwise, this method may return any results of deserializing the request body content; as parsing returns structured content, the potential types MUST be arrays or objects only. A null value indicates the absence of body content.

Return Value

null|array|object The deserialized body parameters, if any. These will typically be an array or object.

at line line 321
ServerRequest withParsedBody(null|array|object $data)

Return an instance with the specified body parameters.

These MAY be injected during instantiation.

If the request Content-Type is either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data, and the request method is POST, use this method ONLY to inject the contents of $_POST.

The data IS NOT REQUIRED to come from $_POST, but MUST be the results of deserializing the request body content. Deserialization/parsing returns structured data, and, as such, this method ONLY accepts arrays or objects, or a null value if nothing was available to parse.

As an example, if content negotiation determines that the request data is a JSON payload, this method could be used to create a request instance with the deserialized parameters.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated body parameters.

Parameters

null|array|object $data The deserialized body data. This will typically be in an array or object.

Return Value

ServerRequest

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException if an unsupported argument type is provided.

at line line 341
array getAttributes()

Retrieve attributes derived from the request.

The request "attributes" may be used to allow injection of any parameters derived from the request: e.g., the results of path match operations; the results of decrypting cookies; the results of deserializing non-form-encoded message bodies; etc. Attributes will be application and request specific, and CAN be mutable.

Return Value

array Attributes derived from the request.

at line line 363
mixed getAttribute(string $name, mixed $default = null)

Retrieve a single derived request attribute.

Retrieves a single derived request attribute as described in getAttributes(). If the attribute has not been previously set, returns the default value as provided.

This method obviates the need for a hasAttribute() method, as it allows specifying a default value to return if the attribute is not found.

Parameters

string $name The attribute name.
mixed $default Default value to return if the attribute does not exist.

Return Value

mixed
