[PHP] Did I have to sign up for the mailing list to post here?
If you're reading this now, then yes is probably the answer to my titular question. My last two attempts to post quietly disappeared into the ether with nary a warning, and I wasn't subscribed before. I'd be happy simply using a news reader rather than getting regular e-mailings. Will I be able to unsubscribe from the mailing list without losing the ability to post here via news reader? -Kerry -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Problem with readfile() and HTTP headers (vs. server-side include)
I'm trying to figure out how to make readfile() or include() work more
like a server-side #include, in terms of HTTP headers.
I'm taking some web pages that used server-side includes, that in turn
invoked CGI scripts, and replacing these pages with PHP pages. For the
most part, I don't need a lot of the old CGI code anymore, but I'd
still like to be able to invoke a CGI from a PHP page with similar
results as when I did the same thing with SSI.
The problem that I'm seeing is with HTTP headers. When I use the
readfile() or include() functions in PHP, PHP seems to creating its
own new headers, rather than passing along the headers from its own
environment.
As an example of what I'm talking about, here's a CGI that displays,
among other things, the HTTP headers that your web browser provides:
http://www.shetline.com/cgi-bin/serverinfo.cgi
When I directly invoke the above from my browser, to no surprise at
all I get this result:
HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
When I try to use readfile() or include(), however, what I get back
is:
HTTP_USER_AGENT: PHP/4.2.3
PHP is supplying its own user agent, rather than the user agent that
invoked the PHP page in the first place. Here's what the test page
source looks like (from http://www.shetline.com/testphp.php):
PHP Test
<%
readfile("http://www.shetline.com/cgi-bin/serverinfo.cgi";);
%>
Below is an example of a page using SSI, that produces the desired
result:
SSI TEst
Is there any way, short of getting down to sockets and hard-coding the
whole transaction, to get readfile(), include(), or something else
that's relatively painless, to pass on the same HTTP environment that
my PHP page operates within to a page that my PHP page invokes?
