#39872 [Bgs]: PHP from CLI headers_list() is empty

ID: 39872 User updated by: markjcrane at gmail dot com Reported By: markjcrane at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: Windows XP SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment: Then can header() and headers_list() be removed from the CLI? When the function doesn't work from the CLI does it make sense to keep it in the CLI? Otherwise to use PHP 5.2.0 I would have to direct people to use alternative functions like myheader() and myheaders_list() for those commands. At which point their code would no longer be standard and work the same on an Apache Server or other web server.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Because in CLI headers are not actually sent, headers_list() does not report them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-18 16:56:26] markjcrane at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The function header() and headers_list() works as expected when run from PHP 5.1.6 run from the command line however in PHP 5.2.0 when run from the command line headers_list() is an empty array. I'm not really sure if this was a bug or intentional. In most cases it probably is not needed for command line programs. In my case my command line program is a personal web server and I use headers_list() to find any custom PHP headers to send to the browser. If it was removed intentionally then maybe the header() function and headers_list() should be removed from the command line interface. That way it would be consistent and the few of us that need that functionality can add it back in with identical functions written in PHP code. Thanks for your time and help! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php //could be any custom header header("Cache-Control: no-cache"); print_r(headers_list()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.0 [1] => Cache-Control: no-cache ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39872&edit=1
