ServerRequest extends Request
in package

Application

implements ServerRequestInterface

Server-side HTTP request

Extends the Request definition to add methods for accessing incoming data, specifically server parameters, cookies, matched path parameters, query string arguments, body parameters, and upload file information.

"Attributes" are discovered via decomposing the request (and usually specifically the URI path), and typically will be injected by the application.

Requests are considered immutable; all methods that might change state are implemented such that they retain the internal state of the current message and return a new instance that contains the changed state.

Retrieves the deserialized query string arguments, if any.

Note: the query params might not be in sync with the URI or server params. If you need to ensure you are only getting the original values, you may need to parse the query string from getUri()->getQuery() or from the QUERY_STRING server param.

Return values

    public
                    getRequestTarget() : string

In most cases, this will be the origin-form of the composed URI, unless a value was provided to the concrete implementation (see withRequestTarget() below).

If no URI is available, and no request-target has been specifically provided, this method MUST return the string "/".

Return values

    public
                    getServerParams() : array<string|int, mixed>

    public
                    withAttribute(mixed $attribute, mixed $value) : static

This method allows setting a single derived request attribute as described in getAttributes().

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated attribute.

Parameters

$attribute : mixed
$value : mixed: The value of the attribute.

Return values

static —

withBody()


    public
                    withBody(StreamInterface $body) : MessageInterface

withCookieParams()

Return an instance with the specified cookies.


    public
                    withCookieParams(array<string|int, mixed> $cookies) : static

The data IS NOT REQUIRED to come from the $_COOKIE superglobal, but MUST be compatible with the structure of $_COOKIE. Typically, this data will be injected at instantiation.

This method MUST NOT update the related Cookie header of the request instance, nor related values in the server params.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated cookie values.

Parameters

$cookies : array<string|int, mixed>: Array of key/value pairs representing cookies.

Return values

static —

withHeader()


    public
                    withHeader(mixed $header, mixed $value) : MessageInterface

Parameters

$value : mixed

Return values

MessageInterface —

withMethod()

Return an instance with the provided HTTP method.


    public
                    withMethod(mixed $method) : static

While HTTP method names are typically all uppercase characters, HTTP method names are case-sensitive and thus implementations SHOULD NOT modify the given string.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the changed request method.

Parameters

$method : mixed: Case-sensitive method.

Return values

static —

withoutAttribute()

Return an instance that removes the specified derived request attribute.


    public
                    withoutAttribute(mixed $attribute) : static

This method allows removing a single derived request attribute as described in getAttributes().

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that removes the attribute.

Parameters

$attribute : mixed

Return values

static —

withoutHeader()


    public
                    withoutHeader(mixed $header) : MessageInterface

Parameters

$header : mixed

Return values

MessageInterface —

withParsedBody()

Return an instance with the specified body parameters.


    public
                    withParsedBody(mixed $data) : static

These MAY be injected during instantiation.

If the request Content-Type is either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data, and the request method is POST, use this method ONLY to inject the contents of $_POST.

The data IS NOT REQUIRED to come from $_POST, but MUST be the results of deserializing the request body content. Deserialization/parsing returns structured data, and, as such, this method ONLY accepts arrays or objects, or a null value if nothing was available to parse.

As an example, if content negotiation determines that the request data is a JSON payload, this method could be used to create a request instance with the deserialized parameters.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated body parameters.

Parameters

$data : mixed: The deserialized body data. This will typically be in an array or object.

Return values

static —

withProtocolVersion()


    public
                    withProtocolVersion(mixed $version) : MessageInterface

Parameters

$version : mixed

Return values

MessageInterface —

withQueryParams()

Return an instance with the specified query string arguments.


    public
                    withQueryParams(array<string|int, mixed> $query) : static

These values SHOULD remain immutable over the course of the incoming request. They MAY be injected during instantiation, such as from PHP's $_GET superglobal, or MAY be derived from some other value such as the URI. In cases where the arguments are parsed from the URI, the data MUST be compatible with what PHP's parse_str() would return for purposes of how duplicate query parameters are handled, and how nested sets are handled.

Setting query string arguments MUST NOT change the URI stored by the request, nor the values in the server params.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated query string arguments.

Parameters

$query : array<string|int, mixed>: Array of query string arguments, typically from $_GET.

Return values

static —

withRequestTarget()

Return an instance with the specific request-target.


    public
                    withRequestTarget(mixed $requestTarget) : static

If the request needs a non-origin-form request-target — e.g., for specifying an absolute-form, authority-form, or asterisk-form — this method may be used to create an instance with the specified request-target, verbatim.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the changed request target.

Parameters

$requestTarget : mixed

Return values

static —

withUploadedFiles()

Create a new instance with the specified uploaded files.


    public
                    withUploadedFiles(array<string|int, mixed> $uploadedFiles) : static

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated body parameters.

Parameters

$uploadedFiles : array<string|int, mixed>: An array tree of UploadedFileInterface instances.

Return values

static —

withUri()

Returns an instance with the provided URI.


    public
                    withUri(UriInterface $uri[, mixed $preserveHost = false ]) : static

This method MUST update the Host header of the returned request by default if the URI contains a host component. If the URI does not contain a host component, any pre-existing Host header MUST be carried over to the returned request.

You can opt-in to preserving the original state of the Host header by setting $preserveHost to true. When $preserveHost is set to true, this method interacts with the Host header in the following ways:

If the Host header is missing or empty, and the new URI contains a host component, this method MUST update the Host header in the returned request.
If the Host header is missing or empty, and the new URI does not contain a host component, this method MUST NOT update the Host header in the returned request.
If a Host header is present and non-empty, this method MUST NOT update the Host header in the returned request.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the new UriInterface instance.

Parameters

$uri : UriInterface: New request URI to use.
$preserveHost : mixed = false: Preserve the original state of the Host header.
