How to get cookies with guzzle?

The Guzzle site is very weak documentation. I realized that I needed to look at the source code to use all the features of the library, but I still can not fully understand the source code.

How to get cookies with Guzzle from any website? What class to look at?

The cookies representation in guzzle is part of the PSR-7's ServerRequestInterface implementation, e.g of the ServerRequest class. In the class is defined an array property $cookieParams. To this variable you can either assign the $_COOKIE variable (through the call to the static method fromGlobals()) or an array of your choice (inclusive $_COOKIE) by calling withCookieParams(). To read the content of the $cookieParams array you just need to call getCookieParams().

Example using fromGlobals() - having the role of a ServerRequest factory:

<?php

use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\ServerRequest;

/**
 * Create a ServerRequest instance, populated with superglobals:
 * $_GET
 * $_POST
 * $_COOKIE
 * $_FILES
 * $_SERVER
 */
$serverRequest = ServerRequest::fromGlobals();

// Display the content of $_COOKIE.
var_dump($serverRequest->getCookieParams());

Example of directly creating a ServerRequest instance and assigning a cookies array to a copy of it - in order to maintain the immutability of the request object:

<?php

use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\ServerRequest;

// Directly create a ServerRequest instance.
$serverRequest = new ServerRequest('GET', 'http://localhost/mypath?var=somevar#myfragment', [], NULL, '1.1', $_SERVER);

// Create a clone instance with the specified cookies array.
$serverRequest = $serverRequest->withCookieParams($_COOKIE);

// Display the content of the cookies list.
var_dump($serverRequest->getCookieParams());

There is also another implementation, the one of GuzzleHttp\Cookie\CookieJarInterface, e.g the class GuzzleHttp\Cookie\CookieJar (see here) This is documented on http://docs.guzzlephp.org, at:

In CookieJar class you can assign a $cookieArray in constructor and have some methods to handle its values (getCookieValue(), getCookieByName(), setCookie() etc).
