HttpRequest Class in PHP 5.3 not found

I try to get this tutorial to work:

function post_simple_message() {
  $request =
    new HttpRequest('https://api.mailgun.net/v2/samples.mailgun.org/messages',
                    HttpRequest::METH_POST);
  $auth = base64_encode('api:key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0');
  $request->setHeaders(array('Authorization' => 'Basic '.$auth));
  $request
    ->setPostFields(array('from' => 'Excited User'.
                          ' <Excited User <me@samples.mailgun.org>>',
                          'to' => 'sergeyo@profista.com, serobnic@mail.ru',
                          'subject' => 'Hello',
                          'text' => 'Testing some Mailgun awesomness!'
                          ));
  $request->send();
  return $request;
}

Unfortunately that produces:

1	Fatal error: Class 'HttpRequest' not found in index.php on line 2not found in index.php on line 2

As suggested here I tried adding a php.ini to my webapp containing:

1 2	extension = php_http.dll extension = pecl_http.dll

I also checked with phpinfo that my php.ini is parsed.

Any more ideas?

Hi,

You need to install the pecl_http PHP extension first. Here's the procedure to install it:

mkdir ~/pecl_install
cd ~/pecl_install
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/pecl_http-1.7.1.tgz
tar zxf pecl_http-1.7.1.tgz
cd pecl_http-1.7.1
phpize53
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php53-config
make
mkdir ~/php53-exts
cp modules/http.so ~/php53-exts/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/php53/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/* ~/php53-exts/
echo "extension_dir = $HOME/php53-exts" >> ~/webapps/<appname>/php.ini
echo "extension = http.so" >> ~/webapps/<appname>/php.ini

You should then be able to use the HttpRequest class.
