Knowing http header

freenity · 02-28-2008, 12:24 AM

Hi
I need to know the HTTP Header that client sends to the server to get my page. I had a look at the $_SERVER[] but there is nothing like this there. Only some parts of it like SERVER_PROTOCOL, REQUEST_METHOD, etc. So I was wondering is there any way to get the whole header ?? Without making it of these parts.
Thanks

Maybe the following PHP module may help you out? But as far as I am aware, PHP has had the raw HTTP header limitation since the start. The $_SERVER array is about as close as you will get out-of-the-box.

I guess that's what I need. Will have a deep look at it tomorrow.
Thanks :)

Untested, but this class should do it as well.

That didn't work for me.
It reads some info from "php://input" but that returns an empty string :S

And the HTTP module looks fine, but there is no way I can install it on my hosting

Anyway thanks to everyone.

What exactly is wrong with the $_SERVER array?

The wrong part with it is that I can't get the whole header at once.
I have to remake it with parts of SERVER[]

Great post Wildhoney +fav +thanks.

You could also simply create your own $SERVER (notice I left out the underscore) array with all the data you need? As long as you don't echo it out.
