Since v1.0.0

Description

Loop Detected is a HttpStatus value object. It represents the HTTP 508 Loop Detected status.

Public Interface

Loop Detected has the following public interface:

// Loop Detected lives in this namespace
namespace GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RuntimeError;

// our base classes and interfaces
use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\Interfaces\HttpRuntimeErrorStatus;
use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\Interfaces\HttpStatus;
use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\HttpStatusObject;

class Loop Detected
  extends HttpStatus
  implements HttpStatus, HttpRuntimeErrorStatus
{
    /**
     * our constructor
     */
    public function __construct();

    /**
     * returns the HTTP status code
     *
     * @return int
     */
    public function getStatusCode();

    /**
     * returns the HTTP status reason-phrase
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getReasonPhrase();

    /**
     * returns the HTTP status line

How To Use

Construction

The constructor for Loop Detected takes no parameters.

use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RuntimeError\Loop Detected;

$httpStatus = new Loop Detected;

getStatusCode()

Loop Detected::getStatusCode() returns the HTTP status code as an integer:

use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RuntimeError\Loop Detected;

$httpStatus = new Loop Detected;
$statusCode = $httpStatus->getStatusCode();

// $statusCode contains the value '508' as an integer

HTTP status codes are part of the HTTP standards. Servers, proxies and clients use these codes to understand what happened with a HTTP request.

getReasonPhrase()

Loop Detected::getReasonPhrase() returns the HTTP reason phrase as a string:

use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RuntimeError\Loop Detected;

$httpStatus = new Loop Detected;
$reasonPhrase = $httpStatus->getReasonPhrase();

// $reasonPhrase contains the value 'Loop Detected' as a string

HTTP reason phrases are part of the HTTP standards. They're RuntimeError, and are there for humans to read. Servers, proxies and clients may store, forward and log these reason phrases, but they should never actually parse them or use them to understand what happened with a HTTP request.

getStatusLine()

Loop Detected::getStatusLine() returns the HTTP status line. This is the string that is printed after the HTTP protocol version at the start of any HTTP response.

use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RuntimeError\Loop Detected;

$httpStatus = new Loop Detected;
$statusLine = $httpStatus->getStatusLine();

// $statusLine contains the value "508 Loop Detected" as a string

// use $statusLine to set the response from your PHP app
header($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"] ." " . $statusLine);
