How to do a get request twice in PHP?

Question

Here's my current code:

$header = [ 
                'phoneType' => $mobileType
                ];

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
            $filterPhone = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header, NULL);

Now, I need to make two request now with a new API with the following request:

{
"configuration": "techDescriptions",
"automated":"<phon>",
"lalaBox":true
}

{
"configuration": "techDescriptions",
"automationBu":"<phoneType>",
"lalaBox":false
 }

Is this the right way to do it?

$header = [ 
                "configuration": "techDescriptions",
                "automationBu":"<phoneType>",
                "lalaBox":false
                ];

$header = [ 
                "configuration": "techDescriptions",
                "automationBu":"<phoneType>",
                "lalaBox":treu
                ];

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveNEWAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
            $filterPhone = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header, NULL);

When doing this you overwrite the $header variable. You should maybe have another name that makes more sense for the second header you need to send. I'll put $header2 so you understand but you should find a better name

       $header = [ 
                        "configuration": "techDescriptions",
                        "automationBu":"<phoneType>",
                        "lalaBox":false
                        ];

        $header2 = [ 
                        "configuration": "techDescriptions",
                        "automationBu":"<phoneType>",
                        "lalaBox":treu
                        ];

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveNEWAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
            $filterPhone = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header, NULL);

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveNEWAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
            $filterPhone = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header2, NULL);

$header = [ 
                "configuration": "techDescriptions",
                "automationBu":"<phoneType>",
                "lalaBox":false
                ];

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveNEWAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
            $filterPhone1 = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header, NULL);
$header = [ 
                "configuration": "techDescriptions",
                "automationBu":"<phoneType>",
                "lalaBox":treu
                ];

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveNEWAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
        $filterPhone2 = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header, NULL);

Just do 2 requests. In your example, you only overwrite the header variable. And I think the in the second header you mean true not treu?

You could also put the 2 headers together in one array and later call them twice as :

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveNEWAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
        $filterPhone = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header[0], NULL);

\Drupal::logger("cam")->debug('PageNameHere retrieveNEWAPINameHere REQUEST: '.json_encode($header));
        $filterPhone = MAPClient2::req( 'get', $context, $header[1], NULL);

But you don't win much though, but might be more convenient later when you want to add more headers.
