$http_response_header - HTTP response headers

	The $http_response_header array is similar to the get_headers(3) function. When using the HTTP wrapper, $http_response_header will be pop-
       ulated with the HTTP response headers. $http_response_header will be created in the local scope.

       Example #1

	      $http_response_header example

	      <?php
	      function get_contents() {
		file_get_contents("http://example.com");
		var_dump($http_response_header);
	      }
	      get_contents();
	      var_dump($http_response_header);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      array(9) {
		[0]=>
		string(15) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
		[1]=>
		string(35) "Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:30:38 GMT"
		[2]=>
		string(29) "Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)"
		[3]=>
		string(44) "Last-Modified: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:24:10 GMT"
		[4]=>
		string(27) "ETag: "280100-1b6-80bfd280""
		[5]=>
		string(20) "Accept-Ranges: bytes"
		[6]=>
		string(19) "Content-Length: 438"
		[7]=>
		string(17) "Connection: close"
		[8]=>
		string(38) "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"
	      }
	      NULL

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      get_headers(3) example

	      <?php
	      $url = 'http://www.example.com';

	      print_r(get_headers($url));

	      print_r(get_headers($url, 1));
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Array
	      (
		  [0] => HTTP/1.1 200 OK
		  [1] => Date: Sat, 29 May 2004 12:28:13 GMT

		  [3] => Last-Modified: Wed, 08 Jan 2003 23:11:55 GMT
		  [4] => ETag: "3f80f-1b6-3e1cb03b"
		  [5] => Accept-Ranges: bytes
		  [6] => Content-Length: 438
		  [7] => Connection: close
		  [8] => Content-Type: text/html
	      )

	      Array
	      (
		  [0] => HTTP/1.1 200 OK
		  [Date] => Sat, 29 May 2004 12:28:14 GMT
		  [Server] => Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)  (Red-Hat/Linux)
		  [Last-Modified] => Wed, 08 Jan 2003 23:11:55 GMT

		  [Accept-Ranges] => bytes
		  [Content-Length] => 438
		  [Connection] => close
		  [Content-Type] => text/html
	      )

       Example #2

	      get_headers(3) using HEAD example

	      <?php
	      // By default get_headers uses a GET request to fetch the headers. If you
	      // want to send a HEAD request instead, you can do so using a stream context:
	      stream_context_set_default(
		  array(
		      'http' => array(
			  'method' => 'HEAD'
		      )
		  )
	      );
	      $headers = get_headers('http://example.com');
	      ?>
