note 68698 added to function.http-parse-headers

If you don't have access to the PECL library, you can use this code to parse headers contained in strings. Note that it's probably not as robust as the PECL version, as it only parses if the headers are separated by newlines (\n). This isn't a problem in most cases, though, as the standard suggests to use \r\n as the delimiter for headers. HTTP response code is put into 'status'. Any suggestions welcome! <? function http_parse_headers($headers=false){ if($headers === false){ return false; } $headers = str_replace("\r","",$headers); $headers = explode("\n",$headers); foreach($headers as $value){ $header = explode(": ",$value); if($header[0] && !$header[1]){ $headerdata['status'] = $header[0]; } elseif($header[0] && $header[1]){ $headerdata[$header[0]] = $header[1]; } } return $headerdata; } $headers = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2006 05:32:01 GMT\r\n X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.3-dev\r\n Data 1: Value for Data 1\r\n Data 2: Value for Data 2\r\n Connection: close\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n"; http_parse_headers($headers); // OUTPUT: array(7) { ["status"]=> string(15) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" ["Date"]=> string(29) "Tue, 08 Aug 2006 05:32:01 GMT" ["X-Powered-By"]=> string(13) "PHP/4.4.3-dev" ["Data 1"]=> string(16) "Value for Data 1" ["Data 2"]=> string(16) "Value for Data 2" ["Connection"]=> string(5) "close" ["Content-Type"]=> string(9) "text/html" } ?> ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.20 Probable Submitter: 203.213.7.131 (proxied: 60.242.13.79) ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.http-parse-headers.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/68698 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68698/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68698/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68698/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68698/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68698/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68698/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/68698 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/68698 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
