如何在 Ubuntu 中安装 Requests for PHP？

Question

How to install Requests for PHP ( http://requests.ryanmccue.info/ ) on Ubuntu 14.04?

I have downloaded package with command:

$ wget https://github.com/rmccue/Requests/tarball/master -O - | tar xzv

In Phyton next step would be:

$ sudo python setup.py install

What command would I use for PHP?

Answer 1

If you install via composer , which I recommend you do, you can then include it just by including the 'autoload.php' that composer generates for you. Usually from your project root

require 'vendor/autoload.php'

but that will depend on the structure of your project. Then you're freely able to use

Requests::get($args); // or, of course, any of the other functions

from within your project.

Answer 2

Unless it's a compiled PHP extension, there is no installation step for PHP libraries. You download the files, you put them in a folder, you require the file you just downloaded. Typically you make those dependencies part of your PHP project instead of installing them "globally". Composer was created to simplify that process and help you manage dependencies. If you don't use it, it's up to you where to put those files and where to require them from.
