Http Status Code

The "HTTP Status Code Abstraction" project is a PHP 8-based initiative aimed at simplifying the management and usage of HTTP status codes by ENUM. HTTP status codes are integral to web development, providing vital information about the success or failure of HTTP requests and responses. However, managing and referencing these status codes in a clear and organized way can often be tedious and time-consuming.. This project seeks to address this challenge by leveraging PHP 8's ENUM feature.

Status codes are divided into five main categories, each with its own range of numbers to indicate different types of responses.

Informational

• Codes in this category start with "1" (for example, 100, 101).
• They are used to inform the client that the request has been received and is being processed.

Successful

• Codes in this category start with "2" (for example, 200, 201).
• They indicate that the request has been received, understood, and accepted successfully.

Redirection

• Codes in this category start with "3" (for example, 301, 302).
• They are used to indicate that the client should take some additional action to complete the request.

Client Errors

• Codes in this category start with "4" (for example, 400, 404).
• They indicate that there was an error in the request made by the client, either due to a syntax error, insufficient permissions, or resources not found.

Server Errors

• Codes in this category start with "5" (for example, 500, 502).
• They indicate that there was an error on the server while processing the request, typically due to internal server failures.

Examples

echo HttpStatusCode::OK->value; // 200
echo HttpStatusCode::OK->isSuccess(); // true
echo HttpStatusCode::OK->category(); // HttpStatusCodeCategory::SUCCESSFUL
echo HttpStatusCode::OK->description(); // The request has succeeded
