When using file_get_contents()
to request an external URL, how can I find out what headers I've sent, or alternatively what headers I am about to send? I'm basically looking for a request counterpart for $http_response_header
or anything else I can use to extract the same data.
I know I get to set headers myself with stream_context_create(array ('http' => array ('header' => $header)))
, but I want to see what headers are actually being sent in the end, including default ones.
If you need a consistent header to go out with each file_get_contents
request, use the stream contexts like this example:
<?php
// Create a stream
$opts = array(
'http'=>array(
'method'=>"GET",
'header'=>"Accept-language: en
" .
"Cookie: foo=bar
"
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
// Open the file using the HTTP headers set above
$file = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/', false, $context);
?>
