Headers
A Slim application will automatically parse all HTTP request headers. You can access the request headers using therequest object’s public headers
property. The headers
property is an instance of \Slim\Helper\Set
, meaningit provides a simple, standardized interface to interactive with the HTTP request headers.
<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
// Get request headers as associative array
$headers = $app->request->headers;
// Get the ACCEPT_CHARSET header
$charset = $app->request->headers->get('ACCEPT_CHARSET');
The HTTP specification states that HTTP header names may be uppercase, lowercase, or mixed-case. Slim is smart enoughto parse and return header values whether you request a header value using upper, lower, or mixed case header name,with either underscores or dashes. So use the naming convention with which you are most comfortable.
