Class Phalcon\Http\Request

implements Phalcon\Http\RequestInterface, Phalcon\Di\InjectionAwareInterface

Source on GitHub

Encapsulates request information for easy and secure access from application controllers. The request object is a simple value object that is passed between the dispatcher and controller classes. It packages the HTTP request environment.

use Phalcon\Http\Request;

 $request = new Request();

 if ($request->isPost()) {
     if ($request->isAjax()) {
         echo 'Request was made using POST and AJAX';
     }
 }

 $request->getServer('HTTP_HOST'); // retrieve SERVER variables
 $request->getMethod();            // GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, PURGE, TRACE, CONNECT
 $request->getLanguages();         // an array of languages the client accepts

Methods

...

public setHttpMethodParameterOverride (mixed $httpMethodParameterOverride)

...

public setDI (Phalcon\DiInterface $dependencyInjector)

Sets the dependency injector

public getDI ()

Returns the internal dependency injector

public get ([mixed $name], [mixed $filters], [mixed $defaultValue], [mixed $notAllowEmpty], [mixed $noRecursive])

Gets a variable from the $_REQUEST superglobal applying filters if needed. If no parameters are given the $_REQUEST superglobal is returned

//Returns value from $_REQUEST["user_email"] without sanitizing
$userEmail = $request->get("user_email");

//Returns value from $_REQUEST["user_email"] with sanitizing
$userEmail = $request->get("user_email", "email");

public getPost ([mixed $name], [mixed $filters], [mixed $defaultValue], [mixed $notAllowEmpty], [mixed $noRecursive])

Gets a variable from the $_POST superglobal applying filters if needed If no parameters are given the $_POST superglobal is returned

//Returns value from $_POST["user_email"] without sanitizing
$userEmail = $request->getPost("user_email");

//Returns value from $_POST["user_email"] with sanitizing
$userEmail = $request->getPost("user_email", "email");

public getPut ([mixed $name], [mixed $filters], [mixed $defaultValue], [mixed $notAllowEmpty], [mixed $noRecursive])

Gets a variable from put request

//Returns value from $_PUT["user_email"] without sanitizing
$userEmail = $request->getPut("user_email");

//Returns value from $_PUT["user_email"] with sanitizing
$userEmail = $request->getPut("user_email", "email");

public getQuery ([mixed $name], [mixed $filters], [mixed $defaultValue], [mixed $notAllowEmpty], [mixed $noRecursive])

Gets variable from $_GET superglobal applying filters if needed If no parameters are given the $_GET superglobal is returned

// Returns value from $_GET['id'] without sanitizing
$id = $request->getQuery('id');

// Returns value from $_GET['id'] with sanitizing
$id = $request->getQuery('id', 'int');

// Returns value from $_GET['id'] with a default value
$id = $request->getQuery('id', null, 150);

final protected getHelper (array $source, [mixed $name], [mixed $filters], [mixed $defaultValue], [mixed $notAllowEmpty], [mixed $noRecursive])

Helper to get data from superglobals, applying filters if needed. If no parameters are given the superglobal is returned.

public getServer (mixed $name)

Gets variable from $_SERVER superglobal

public has (mixed $name)

Checks whether $_REQUEST superglobal has certain index

public hasPost (mixed $name)

Checks whether $_POST superglobal has certain index

public hasPut (mixed $name)

Checks whether the PUT data has certain index

public hasQuery (mixed $name)

Checks whether $_GET superglobal has certain index

final public hasServer (mixed $name)

Checks whether $_SERVER superglobal has certain index

final public getHeader (mixed $header)

Gets HTTP header from request data

public getScheme ()

Gets HTTP schema (http/https)

public isAjax ()

Checks whether request has been made using ajax

public isSoap ()

Checks whether request has been made using SOAP

public isSoapRequested ()

Alias of isSoap(). It will be deprecated in future versions

public isSecure ()

public getRawBody ()

Gets HTTP raw request body

public getJsonRawBody ([mixed $associative])

Gets decoded JSON HTTP raw request body

public getServerAddress ()

Gets active server address IP

public getServerName ()

public getHttpHost ()

Gets host name used by the request. Request::getHttpHost trying to find host name in following order: - $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] - $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] - $_SERVER[‘SERVER_ADDR’] Optionally Request::getHttpHost validates and clean host name. The Request::$_strictHostCheck can be used to validate host name. Note: validation and cleaning have a negative performance impact because they use regular expressions.

use Phalcon\Http\Request;

 $request = new Request;

 $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'example.com';
 $request->getHttpHost(); // example.com

 $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'example.com:8080';
 $request->getHttpHost(); // example.com:8080

 $request->setStrictHostCheck(true);
 $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'ex=am~ple.com';
 $request->getHttpHost(); // UnexpectedValueException

 $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'ExAmPlE.com';
 $request->getHttpHost(); // example.com
