[4.19.1] SDK should never be printing/echoing data

[shengslogar]

SDKs should, in principle, be headless. bdc39a1, tagged 4.17.1, added an echo statement to RetrySender without any rationale provided in the changelog or commit message, perhaps an artifact left over from internal debugging?

Searching across the codebase yields the following instances of this:

smartystreets-php-sdk/src/US_Reverse_Geo/Client.php

Line 32 in 15aef42

echo($response->getPayload());

smartystreets-php-sdk/src/RetrySender.php

Line 60 in 15aef42

echo $ex->getCode() . "\n";

smartystreets-php-sdk/src/US_Enrichment/Client.php

Line 40 in 15aef42

echo($response->getPayload());

Happy to provide an example explaining why this is causing issues in our codebase if it's not self-evident.

EDIT: if output is required, hooking into ClientBuilder's withDebug mode might be appropriate.

A temporary non-ideal workaround is to capture and flush output using object buffering:

/** @var \SmartyStreets\PhpSdk\US_Autocomplete_Pro\Client $autocompleteClient */

\ob_start();
$autocompleteClient->sendLookup(...);
\ob_clean();

// Use results of lookup...

Must also take care to \ob_clean in the event of a SmartyStreets\PhpSdk\Exceptions\SmartyException.

Hi

It looks like those echo statements were indeed leftover from internal debugging. We've removed those, along with some leftover artifacts from the US_Autocomplete classes, in the most recent version (5.0.1).

Excellent! Happy to see this package getting some love 🙌
