I am trying to connect to an API that keeps the connection alive and sends the chunked data.
I have a solution that uses fsockopen which writes and reads the stream and uses while(!$stream->eof()).
I am wondering if I can use Guzzle to acheive the same result?
I saw the Async method but can some show me how to wait for stream?
Guzzle 6+ supports PRS-7, which defines a response body as a stream. You can request data synchronously or asynchronously, it doesn't matter.
Also it's important to set stream option for your request:
$client = new Client(/* ... */);
$response = $client->get('http://some.url/', ['stream' => true]);
$bodyStream = $response->getBody();
while (!$bodyStream->eof()) {
echo $bodyStream->read(1024);
}
