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

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$rest = new CkRest();

//  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;
$success = $rest->Connect('example.com',443,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success == false) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\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() == false) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText . "\n";
