HTTP request in Laravel don't work

Question

This is my route file:

Route::get('/','guzzle@guzzle');

And this is my controller class:

use App\Http\Requests;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

class guzzle extends Controller
{
    public function guzzle(){

    $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
    $request = $client->head('http://www.amazon.com');

    $response = $request->send();
    echo $response->getContentLength();

It gave me the following error message in my browser:

FatalErrorException in guzzle.php line 17:
Class 'App\Http\Controllers\GuzzleHttp\Client' not found

I don't know how to fix this issue. Who can help me?

Instead of `use GuzzleHttp\Client;`, use `use \GuzzleHttp\Client;`. What you are currently doing is calling GuzzleHttp as if it is in the same namespace which it is not. — bytesarelife, Oct 09 '16 at 13:00
i tried that one too the error that iam getting looks like this::::::; cURL error 7: Failed to connect to www.amason.com port 443: Timed out (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) — abraham foto, Oct 09 '16 at 13:23
`Failed to connect to www.amason.com` Are you sure it's going to `www.amazon.com` and not `www.amason.com` ? — bytesarelife, Oct 09 '16 at 13:27
Sorry my typo error..... It actually failed to connect to any website. even my school website ::::: i get always this error :::::::cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) — abraham foto, Oct 09 '16 at 13:40

As the error mentions, this is a certificate problem. Head over to [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/28858351/6270112) to solve this. — bytesarelife, Oct 09 '16 at 13:47
@bytesarelife `use GuzzleHttp\Client;` is perfectly fine. It's `$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();` that'd be a problem - it can be just `new Client` because of the `use`. — ceejayoz, Oct 12 '16 at 14:04
@ceejayoz `Class 'App\Http\Controllers\GuzzleHttp\Client' not found`. Clearly namespace prefixing a problem there because it's trying to find the `Client` in the same namespace i.e: `App\Http\Controllers` — bytesarelife, Oct 12 '16 at 16:58
@bytesarelife That error is caused by the `$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client` line. Not the `use GuzzleHttp\Client` one. Yes, OP has an issue with namespacing. No, "Instead of use GuzzleHttp\Client;, use use \GuzzleHttp\Client;" will not fix it. — ceejayoz, Oct 12 '16 at 17:50
@ceejayoz Of course, just namespace fix will not resolve the issue. I was just pointing it as one of the exceptions. — bytesarelife, Oct 12 '16 at 18:08

Once you have imported the class:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

You should not type the full class namespace while instantiating it:

wrong: new GuzzleHttp\Client();

right: new Client();

You can also get rid of the namespace prefixing with this:

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
