Laravel 10 Guzzle HTTP Client Headers with Multi-Part Example

In the previous tutorial, we did see how to send a POST request using the Laravel Guzzle HTTP client. But in this tutorial, I will discuss how to set headers with attachments with multipart/form-data using the Guzzle HTTP client. We will use Http client to create this test API request with headers and attachments.

You already know that Laravel provides an expressive, minimal API around the Guzzle HTTP client, allowing us to make HTTP requests to communicate with other web applications

So let's see the example code of laravel http client set headers:

Step 1: Install Laravel 10

First of all, we need to get a fresh Laravel 10 version application using the bellow command to start multipartform data guzzle laravel.

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

 

Step 2: Create Route

Here, we need to add routes to set laravel http client set headers. 

routes/web.php

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\HttpController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::post('http_post_request', [HttpController::class, 'store']);

 

Step 3: Create Controller

Here, now we have to create a HttpController to process our api request. So create it and update it like below:

app/Http/Controllers/HttpController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class HttpController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $response = Http::withHeaders([
            'X-First' => 'Laravelia',
            'X-Second' => 'CodeCheef'
        ])->post('http://example.com/users', [
            'name' => 'Mahedi Hasan',
        ]);

        dd($response);
    }
}

 

Now if you start your server by running php artisan serve and visit the below url:

URL

http://127.0.0.1:8000/http_post_request

 

Sometimes we need to send data with attachments. So if you have multipartform data guzzle laravel, then you can follow this code:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class HttpController extends Controller
{

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $photo = fopen(public_path('/storage/') . $photoPath, 'r');

        $response = Http::withToken($token)
            ->withHeaders([
                'X-Header' => $header
            ])
            ->attach('photo', $photo)
            ->post($url, [
                [
                    'name' => 'param_1',
                    'contents' => 'contents'
                ]
            ]);

        dd($response);
    }
}

 

For only attachment, you can follow this code:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class HttpController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $photo = fopen('photo.jpg', 'r');
 
        $response = Http::attach(
            'attachment', $photo, 'photo.jpg'
        )->post('http://example.com/attachments');

        dd($response);
    }
}

 

Or you can use this code for multipart form data:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class HttpController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $response = Http::attach(
            'attachment', file_get_contents('photo.jpg'), 'photo.jpg'
        )->post('http://example.com/attachments');
        
        dd($response);
    }
}
