NotFoundStatus

Since v1.0.0

Description

NotFoundStatus is a HttpStatus value object. It represents the HTTP 404 Not Found status.

Public Interface

NotFoundStatus has the following public interface:

// NotFoundStatus lives in this namespace
namespace GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RequestError;

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

class NotFoundStatus
  extends HttpStatus
  implements HttpStatus, HttpRequestErrorStatus
{
    /**
     * 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
     *
     * this is code + ' ' + reason-phrase
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getStatusLine();
}

How To Use

Construction

The constructor for NotFoundStatus takes no parameters.

use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RequestError\NotFoundStatus;

$httpStatus = new NotFoundStatus;

getStatusCode()

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

use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RequestError\NotFoundStatus;

$httpStatus = new NotFoundStatus;
$statusCode = $httpStatus->getStatusCode();

// $statusCode contains the value '404' 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()

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

use GanbaroDigital\HttpStatus\StatusValues\RequestError\NotFoundStatus;

$httpStatus = new NotFoundStatus;
$reasonPhrase = $httpStatus->getReasonPhrase();

// $reasonPhrase contains the value 'Not Found' as a string

HTTP reason phrases are part of the HTTP standards. They're RequestError, 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()

NotFoundStatus::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\RequestError\NotFoundStatus;

$httpStatus = new NotFoundStatus;
$statusLine = $httpStatus->getStatusLine();

// $statusLine contains the value "404 Not Found" as a string

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