cURL: separating headers from content

Subscribe to our tutorials feed!

 Some times I need to fetch a page with its headers. The problem is that the cURL library can return both but there is no default way to ask for both of them separate. So here is a work around which works for most of the cases.

Code:
<?php
$ch = curl_init('http://twitter.com/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); // This will tell cURL to return the headers as well
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Here we will try to parse the headers :
preg_match('/(.*)\x0d\x0a(.*)/s', $response, $matches);
$respHeaders = explode( "\n", $matches[1]);
$response = $matches[2];

$headers = array();
foreach( $respHeaders as $r ){
 $tmp = explode(': ', $r);
 if ( count($tmp) == 2 )
 $headers[$tmp[0]] = trim($tmp[1]);
}
curl_close($ch);
?>

You can then execute the above to see the result:

Code:
<?php
echo '<pre>';
var_dump( $headers );
var_dump( $response);
?>
