Adding Query string params to a Guzzle GET request?

Question

I read this answer but I believe there is a better way to create a http url query in Guzzle, I am looking for something like this, but cannot get it to work correctly, nor do I know if there is a way to dump the url string to see if it is processing correctly. Could someone show me the correct way to do this?

// works correctly
$client = New GuzzleHttp\Client();
$request = $client->get('http://192.168.50.8/foo?-db=database&-lay=layout&-find');
print_r($request->getBody());

Does not work

$request = $client->get($config->Layout['server'], [], [
        'query' => [
            $config->Layout['switches'], // ([ '-db' => 'database', '-lay' => 'layout', '-find' => true)
            $config->Layout['options'], // other params
        ]
]);

I have the same problem. I found solution

public static function getGroupList($current=false) {
$response = self::getRestClient()->get(
    [
        'domains/{domainId}/pricelists',
        ['domainId' => self::getDomainId()]
    ],
    [
        'query' => [
        current => $current
        ]
    ]
);

return new RestResponse($response);

Try

$response = $client->get(
        [
            $config->Layout['server'],
            []
        ],
        [
            'query' => [
                $config->Layout['switches'], // ([ '-db' => 'database', '-lay' => 'layout', '-find' => true)
                $config->Layout['options'], // other params
            ]
        ]
);

Another variation of the correct answer:

$params = [
   'query' => [
      'option_1' => string,
      'option_2' => string
   ]
];

And then call your request:

$response = $guzzle_client->request('GET','/api.com',$params);

There is a better way to create a http url query in Guzzle. This example follows best practices according to Guzzle architecture and documentation. Have a look at Guzzle documentaton https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/request-options.html As you can see it has RequestOptions. RequestOptions are constants. They are defined at GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions. You can look at class source code and see all of them right there. Thus, to keep good and professional programming style you can write following source code below, for example

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions;

class DataClass extends BaseClass
{
    const DEFAULT_ACCEPT_HEADER = 'application/json';
    const DEFAULT_CACHE_HEADER = 'no-cache';

    private function getData(array $ids)
    {

        $client = new Client([
                'base_uri' => env("HTTP_HOST"),
                'timeout' => env("TIMEOUT")
            ]
        );

        $response = $client->request('GET', env('ENDPOINT'),
            [
                RequestOptions::HEADERS => [
                    'Accept' => self::DEFAULT_ACCEPT_HEADER,
                    'Cache-Control' => self::DEFAULT_CACHE_HEADER,
                ],
                RequestOptions::QUERY => [
                    'ids' => implode(',', $ids),
                    'stats' => 1
                ]
            ]
        );

        return json_decode($response->getBody(), JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY);
    }

This example uses the same variables used in original question. The only env("TIMEOUT") is a variable described in some .env file and can be replaced with a constant. This is how it should work. If it doesn't work in your case, probably the problem is somewhere else

        $client = new Client([
                'base_uri' => $config->Layout['server'],
                'timeout' => env("TIMEOUT")
            ]
        );  

        $response = $client->request('GET', $config->Layout['url'],
            [
                RequestOptions::QUERY => array_merge(
                   $config->Layout['switches'],
                   $config->Layout['options']
                ) 
            ]
        );
