Add a Path Substitution Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddPathParam, which adds or replaces a path-substitution parameter. Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the URI path is replaced with its value.

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

#  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use 1 for HTTPS on port 443),
#  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
$bTls = 1;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect("example.com",443,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Add path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
#  URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.
$rest->AddPathParam("{userId}","12345");
$rest->AddPathParam("{orderId}","98765");

#  The placeholders in the path are replaced before the request is sent.
$responseText = $rest->fullRequestNoBody("GET","/users/{userId}/orders/{orderId}");
if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText . "\r\n";
