How to print all information from an HTTP request to the screen in PHP

Question

I need some PHP code that does a dump of all the information in an HTTP request  including headers and the contents of any information included in a POST request  Basically  a diagnostic tool that spits out exactly what I send to a server    Does anyone have some code that does this

Putting together answers from Peter Bailey and Cmyker you get something like:

<?php
foreach ($_SERVER as $key => $value) {
    if (strpos($key, 'HTTP_') === 0) {
        $chunks = explode('_', $key);
        $header = '';
        for ($i = 1; $y = sizeof($chunks) - 1, $i < $y; $i++) {
            $header .= ucfirst(strtolower($chunks[$i])).'-';
        }
        $header .= ucfirst(strtolower($chunks[$i])).': '.$value;
        echo $header."\n";
    }
}
$body = file_get_contents('php://input');
if ($body != '') {
  print("\n$body\n\n");
}
?>

which works with the php -S built-in webserver, which is quite a handy feature of PHP.

If you want actual HTTP Headers  both request and response   give hurl it a try   You can use the PHP command apache request headers   to get the request headers and apache response headers   to get the current response headers  Note that response can be changed later in the PHP script as long as content has not been served

Nobody mentioned how to dump HTTP headers correctly under any circumstances      From CGI specification rfc3875  section 4 1 18       Meta-variables with names beginning with  HTTP   contain values read   from the client request header fields  if the protocol used is HTTP    The HTTP header field name is converted to upper case  has all   occurrences of  -  replaced with    and has  HTTP  prepended to give   the meta-variable name    foreach    SERVER as  key   gt   value        if  strpos  key   HTTP        0             chunks   explode       key            header               for   i   1   y   sizeof  chunks  - 1   i  lt   y   i                   header    ucfirst strtolower  chunks  i     -                      header    ucfirst strtolower  chunks  i          value          echo  header   lt br gt              Details  http   cmyker blogspot com 2012 10 how-to-dump-http-headers-with-php html

file get contents  php   input   will not always work   I have a request with in the headers  content-length 735  and  php   input  is empty string  So depends on how good valid the HTTP request is

in addition  you can use get headers    it doesn t depend on apache    print r get headers

A simple way would be    lt  php print r   SERVER   print r   POST   print r   GET   print r   FILES     gt    A bit of massaging would be required to get everything in the order you want  and to exclude the variables you are not interested in  but should give you a start

Well  you can read the entirety of the POST body like so  echo file get contents   php   input       And  assuming your webserver is Apache  you can read the request headers like so   requestHeaders   apache request headers
