I have to consume an old Web API in Laravel.
Response body looks like this:
TRANSACTION_ID: KJASDFYDSF^SDFHJSD/2236
STATUS: OK
DATE: 01/03/18
How can I convert the response into Array using Guzzle 6?

4Why would you parse it into JSON?common sense– common sense2018-11-30 09:07:33 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2018 at 9:07

2Don't convert the response into JSON, just parse the response in that format. Converting to JSON would anyway require you to parse the response first, so why add the extra - useless - step?AntoineB– AntoineB2018-11-30 09:08:18 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2018 at 9:08

I need to get the TRANSACTION_ID, STATUS and other properties from the response. Is it possible to do this automatically with Guzzle or I need to parse them with Regex?John– John2018-11-30 09:19:28 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2018 at 9:19

1you have to parse them manually. The given format is not a standard. Usually its being sent as JSON/xml/querystring but this you'll have to parse manuallyFlame– Flame2018-11-30 09:28:17 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2018 at 9:28

Here is the solution with parsing response:
private function parseResponse(\GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response $response) {
$body = $response->getBody();
$body->rewind();
$content = (string) $body->getContents();
$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $content);
$result = [];
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$chunks = explode(':', $line);
$result[trim($chunks[0])] = trim($chunks[1]);
}
return $result;
}

Also it's better to call
explode() with the third, $limit parameter: $chunks = explode(':', $line, 2);
