Retrieve HTTP Header

 / Published in: PHP
 

This returns the headers from an HTTP request. I'm sure there's a better way to do this without resorting to output buffering, but it works.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. function getheader($url)
  2. {
  3. 	ob_start();
  4. 	$ch = curl_init($url);
  5. 	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
  6. 	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
  7. 	$ok = curl_exec($ch);
  8. 	curl_close($ch);
  9. 	$head = ob_get_contents();
  10. 	ob_end_clean();	
  11. 	return $head;
  12. }

PHP5 has this function built-in, however it's nice to have this laying around if you're forced to use PHP4.
