Usage

Converting a PSR-7 ServerRequestInterface to a Laminas\Http\PhpEnvironment\Request

The PSR-7 ServerRequestInterface corresponds to the laminas-http PhpEnvironment\Request.

To convert from a PSR-7 instance to a laminas-http instance, use Laminas\Psr7Bridge\Psr7ServerRequest::toLaminas(). This method takes up to two arguments:

  • the ServerRequestInterface instance to convert.
  • a boolean flag indicating whether or not to do a "shallow" conversion.

Shallow conversions omit:

  • body parameters ("post" in laminas-http)
  • uploaded files
  • the body content

It is useful to omit these for purposes of routing, for instance, when you may not need this more process-intensive data. By default, the $shallow flag is false, meaning a full conversion is done.

Examples

Full conversion to laminas-http request

use Laminas\Http\PhpEnvironment\Response;
use Laminas\Psr7Bridge\Psr7ServerRequest;

// Assume $controller is a Laminas\Mvc\Controller\AbstractController instance.
$result = $controller->dispatch(
    Psr7ServerRequest::toLaminas($request),
    new Response()
);

Shallow conversion to laminas-http request

use Laminas\Psr7Bridge\Psr7ServerRequest;

// Assume $router is a Laminas\Router\Http\TreeRouteStack instance.
$match = $router->match(Psr7ServerRequest::toLaminas($request, true));
