Allowing case insensitive for both, of course, the string to compare with (php.net), and the parameter (Host|host|HOST) if ('php.net' = getheader('host')) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-25 23:49:28] valentiny510 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ array getallheaders ( void ) array apache_request_headers ( void ) ... We already have many ways to get some header if need, apache_request_headers, getallheaders are the same... $_SERVER, $_REQUEST, $_ENV, $GLOBALS (if not unset), etc.. Is full of arrays all over the place and there is no way to get some variable without using "isset" (aside: I think isset is the most used word in PHP) I know we can use $_SERVER['whatever'] ?? null but for once whould be nice to have a function that return null for us by default in case it not exists.. My request is to add a new parameter to any of that function getallheaders/apache_request_headers($header_name = null), or create a new function, i.e. getheader(string $name = null/void) will be much faster if is implemented in the core, and easier to work with.. if ('php.net' = getheader('host')) do something... instead of $headers = getallheaders( ); if (isset($headers['Host']) && $headers['Host'] == 'php.net') do something... you got the idea... Thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76008&edit=1
