Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65791&edit=1 ID: 65791 Updated by: daverandom@php.net Reported by: rainer-phpbugs at 7val dot com Summary: Mixing header('Status', and other header with int $http_response_code -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: HTTP related PHP Version: 5.4.20 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. 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 Agreed with Mike. Personally I don't think this is really a problem at all, not even a documentation problem, we do not need to document features that we do not support or have any influence over. I'm closing this as expected behaviour, drop me a line if you disagree Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-02 09:25:16] mike@php.net "Status:" is just a special CGI header and not handled by PHP at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-30 17:20:35] rainer-phpbugs at 7val dot com Description: ------------ The int $http_response_code for later calls to header() don't update any earlier codes set with header('Status: ???'). The Documentation claims that it "Forces the HTTP response code to the specified value". If header('Status: ...') has not been used beforehand, setting http_response_code works as expected. Test script: --------------- <?php header('Status: 500 Internat Server Error', true, 500); header('Status: 200 OK', true, 200); header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Access"', true, 401); /* this would work: header('Status: 401 OK', true, 401); */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65791&edit=1
