How to call API in CakePHP by Anil Kumar Panigrahi
Write the below code in your Controller method
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | <?php class PagesController extends AppController { public function getExternalData(){ App::uses('HttpSocket','Network/Http'); App::uses('Xml','Utility'); $this->layout = null; $this->autorender = false; $HttpSocket = new HttpSocket(); $data = array( ... ); $response = $HttpSocket->get('[External URL]',$data); $request = $HttpSocket->request; $xmlString = $response['body']; } } ?> |
here External URL is replaced with your external URL, depends on your requirement we can choose the method. Above example code to read the data, we can pass the variables and retrieve data.
If you want to post data then use below method.
