HTTP Headers in PHP

  1. PHP: apache_response_headers
    The apache_response_headers() function allows you to obtain some of the HTTP response headers that are sent by the Apache HTTP server; it does not return all the headers, so it might not do what you expect.
  2. Parsing Response Headers in PHP
    When using file_get_contents to perform HTTP requests, the server response headers is stored in a reserved variable after each successful request; we can iterate over this when we need to access individual response headers.
  3. Custom request headers with cURL in PHP
    Setting custom HTTP Headers with cURL is useful when changing User Agent or Cookies. Headers can be changed two ways, both using the curl_setopt function.
  4. PHP: Header
    The PHP header function is used to send custom headers and response codes in response to HTTP requests.
  5. PHP: headers_sent
    Check if response headers has already been sent before attempting to send other headers.
  6. PHP: headers_list
    The headers_list() function will return a list of headers sent by PHP, or headers that are ready to be sent by PHP.
  7. PHP: http_response_code vs header
