[RESOLVED] Need help with parsing header information

Webspeeder

Hey all.

I have the header information coming back to me, but I'm not sure how to parse it in a dependable way.

Here is the first line:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:32:56 GMT Server: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.3.1.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server Content-Location:

What I am trying to do is simply check the return status code and message. Is there a simple way of doing this?

....

considering it aways follows this pattern:

preg_match('@HTTP/1\.1\s+([0-9]{3})\s+(.+?)\s+Date@',$header,$match);
$code = $match[1];
$message = $match[2];

Also might depend on how you're getting this header information.

For example, if you were using [man]cURL[/man] to handle the transfer, you could simply use cURL's [man]curl_getinfo/man with the CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE option.

I don't want to use hard coded values, like the http 1.1 string. What happens if that value changes, which I'm sure it will at some point.

I am using curl to get the headers though, so i'll try that. Thanks....

I used the curl_info() with HTTP_CODE option and got exactly what I needed.

Thanks.
