reading the entire header

[nickmagus]

is there a way to read the entire header not just what you can read with get?

[Wuhtzu]

Do you mean with PHP for futher processing or just an external application to view it?

 

Live HTTP Headers add-on for Firefox for example...

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829

 

EDIT: From reading a couple of minutes my understanding is that all header values can be found in the $_SERVER superglobal array...

i mean like how you can set the header with header() i want to read the header somehow.

[Wuhtzu]

"To send a header with header()" and "i want to read the header somehow" is not the same and not related...

 

What headers do you want to read?

 

There is a a request header and response header for each and every "component" a given page is comprised of. So there is a request/response header for every image, every style sheet, every .js-file ect. So below is one out of 50-100 total header pairs needed for viewing http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/

what i want is the host value so that if there is no www i can redirect so there is one.

[wildteen88]

Use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to receive the hostname

[nickmagus]

great how do you get the rest i.e "/.../.../blah.php"
