// Full documentation of the client URL (cURL) library: https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php

// STEP 1: Set the API endpoint URL
$apiUrl = 'http://127.0.0.1:5022/symptoms';

// Initiate a new cURL session/resource
$curl = curl_init();

// STEP 2: Set the values of the parameters to pass to the model ----
/*
// Modify the symptoms values accordingly
$Symptom_1 = 'symptom1_value';
$Symptom_2 = 'symptom2_value';
$Symptom_3 = 'symptom3_value';
$Symptom_4 = 'symptom4_value';
$Symptom_5 = 'symptom5_value';
$Symptom_6 = 'symptom6_value';
$Symptom_7 = 'symptom7_value';
$Symptom_8 = 'symptom8_value';
*/

$Symptom_1 = 'example_value_1';
$Symptom_2 = 'example_value_2';
$Symptom_3 = 'example_value_3';
$Symptom_4 = 'example_value_4';
$Symptom_5 = 'example_value_5';
$Symptom_6 = 'example_value_6';
$Symptom_7 = 'example_value_7';
$Symptom_8 = 'example_value_8';

$params = array('Symptom_1' => $Symptom_1, 'Symptom_2' => $Symptom_2,
                'Symptom_3' => $Symptom_3, 'Symptom_4' => $Symptom_4,

                'Symptom_7' => $Symptom_7, 'Symptom_8' => $Symptom_8);

// STEP 3: Set the cURL options
// CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER: true to return the transfer as a string of the
// return value of curl_exec() instead of outputting it directly.
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$apiUrl = $apiUrl . '?' . http_build_query($params);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl);

// For testing:
echo "The generated URL sent to the API is:<br>".$apiUrl."<br><br>";

// Make a GET request
$response = curl_exec($curl);

// Check for cURL errors
if (curl_errno($curl)) {
    $error = curl_error($curl);
    // Handle the error appropriately
    die("cURL Error: $error");
}

// Close cURL session/resource
curl_close($curl);

// Process the response
// echo "<br>The predicted output in JSON format is:<br>" . var_dump($response) . "<br><br>";

// Decode the JSON into normal text
$data = json_decode($response, true);

// echo "<br>The predicted output in decoded JSON format is:<br>" . var_dump($data) . "<br><br>";

// Check if the response was successful
if (isset($data['0'])) {
    // API request was successful
    // Access the data returned by the API
	echo "The predicted status is:<br>";
	
    // Process the data
	foreach($data as $repository) {
		echo $repository['0'], $repository['1'], $repository['2'], "<br>";
	}
} else {
    // API request failed or returned an error
    // Handle the error appropriately
    echo "API Error: " . $data['message'];
}

// REQUIRED LAB WORK SUBMISSION:
/*
Create a form in the web user interface to post the parameter values
(e.g., $Symptom_1, $Symptom_2, etc.) instead of setting them manually.
