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.

<?php

use Chilkat2\Rest;

$rest = new Rest();

// Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
// and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
$bTls = true;
$bAutoReconnect = true;
try {
    $rest->Connect('example.com', 443, $bTls, $bAutoReconnect);

    // 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}');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

echo $responseText, "\n";
