$http_response_header

$http_response_header — HTTP 响应头

说明

$http_response_header 数组与 get_headers() 函数类似。当使用HTTP 包装器时，$http_response_header 将会被 HTTP 响应头信息填充。$http_response_header 将被创建于局部作用域中。

范例

Example #1 $http_response_header 范例

<?php
function get_contents() {
  file_get_contents("http://example.com");
  var_dump($http_response_header);
}
get_contents();
var_dump($http_response_header);
?>

以上例程的输出类似于：

array(9) {
  [0]=>
  string(15) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
  [1]=>
  string(35) "Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:30:38 GMT"
  [2]=>
  string(29) "Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)"
  [3]=>
  string(44) "Last-Modified: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:24:10 GMT"
  [4]=>
  string(27) "ETag: "280100-1b6-80bfd280""
  [5]=>
  string(20) "Accept-Ranges: bytes"
  [6]=>
  string(19) "Content-Length: 438"
  [7]=>
  string(17) "Connection: close"
  [8]=>
  string(38) "Content-Type: text/html; CHARSET=gb2312"
}
NULL

Bear in mind this special variable is somehow protected and not populated in some situation when the peer server close the connection early on (ssl reset)
=> Undefined variable: http_response_header

A code like this one:
$response = @file_get_contents($url);
empty($http_response_header) && $http_response_header = array('HTTP/1.1 400 Bad request');

Will return a cryptic error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function  array() on line 2

--
Should you want to cope with this situation:
$hdrs = array('HTTP/1.1 400 Bad request');
!empty($htp_response_header) && $hdrs = $http_response_headers;

Now use $hdrs in place of $http_response_header

parser function to get formatted headers (with response code)

<?php

function parseHeaders( $headers )
{
    $head = array();
    foreach( $headers as $k=>$v )
    {
        $t = explode( ':', $v, 2 );
        if( isset( $t[1] ) )
            $head[ trim($t[0]) ] = trim( $t[1] );
        else
        {
            $head[] = $v;
            if( preg_match( "#HTTP/[0-9\.]+\s+([0-9]+)#",$v, $out ) )
                $head['reponse_code'] = intval($out[1]);
        }
    }
    return $head;
}

print_r(parseHeaders($http_response_header));

/*

Note that the HTTP wrapper has a hard limit of 1024 characters for the header lines.
Any HTTP header received that is longer than this will be ignored and won't appear in $http_response_header.

The cURL extension doesn't have this limit.
