The reason is that this is the only truly portable way to get the headers, and it's easier to write a single implementation rather than multiple ones. That said, I'd really love to have a method in PHP for retrieving request headers, either singly or as a list. Having to parse through $_SERVER has always felt hackish. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matthew@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc
