Getting Started

Instantiation

First, instantiate a WebFactory object, then use it to create Request and Response objects.

<?php
use Aura\Web\WebFactory;

$web_factory = new WebFactory($GLOBALS);
$request = $web_factory->newRequest();
$response = $web_factory->newResponse();
?>

Note that if jit-globals is turned on, merely passing $GLOBALS will not work properly. In this case, use compact() to pass the needed values. For example:

<?php
use Aura\Web\WebFactory;

$web_factory = new WebFactory(array(
    '_ENV' => $_ENV,
    '_GET' => $_GET,
    '_POST' => $_POST,
    '_COOKIE' => $_COOKIE,
    '_SERVER' => $_SERVER
));
$request = $web_factory->newRequest();
$response = $web_factory->newResponse();
?>

Request and Response Objects

Because each object contains so much functionality, we have split up the documentation into a Request page and a Response page.

By way of overview, the Request object has these sub-objects ...

... and the Response object has these sub-objects:

Once you have built a Response you can send it with any HTTP mechanism you prefer, including plain PHP.

Be sure to read the Request and Response pages for more detailed information.
