rocksolidhq Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hey, i'm receiving some data from a remote source and they are passing on custom Headers with their HTTP POST data. eg. Host:DOMAIN.COM Auth-MID:700000200109 Auth-TID:002 Auth-User:USER01 Auth-Password:PASSW0RD Stateless-Transaction:true Header-Record:false It seems easy enough to pull the standard header values like Host but i cannot seem to get at the custom ones. Can anyone tell me how i would get them? $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] retrieves "DOMAIN.COM" but $_SERVER['Auth-MID'] retrieves nothing. thanks in advance, dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btherl Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 This looks like what you are looking for: apache_request_headers() Assuming you are using apache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksolidhq Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hey btherl, whoops, i should have described my environment. It's actually an IIS 6 server. Anyway, i also posed the question on the phpbuilder forum and received the answer. Anyone searching can find it here: http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?p=10888831#post10888831 the upshot is that all of the headers are stored in the $_SERVER array and capturing them is done using a line like: $headerString = print_r($_SERVER, true); //the "true" tells print_r to return the output instead of displaying it. thanks, dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orio Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Why are you using print_r()? Just use the $_SERVER array... With print_r() you'll receive back a formatted string. Orio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
