iis - PHP http code 0 unable to read custom headers

Question

I have a php script which is being called in an angular project. I always get the response code as 0. I can find the request headers in chrome debugging section, but when i see in script it a always empty. Also the php script is called twice with request method 'options' and 'get'. Iam not able to proceed further to get the details. Iam working on a windows , PHP7,iis server.

<?php
ob_start();

define('ENVIRONMENT', isset($_SERVER['CI_ENV']) ? $_SERVER['CI_ENV'] : 'testing'); //testing, production
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'OPTIONS') {
    header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
    header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, DELETE, PUT, PATCH, OPTIONS');
    header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: api-method,api-url,authorization,token, Content-Type');
    header('Content-Length: 0');
    header('Content-Type: text/plain');
    die();
}else{
    header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
    header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: PUT, POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE");
    header("Content-Type: application/json");
}


echo "header " .getallheaders()['api-method'] . '<br>';
if ((empty(getallheaders()['api-method']) || empty(getallheaders()['api-url'])) && $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
    echo json_encode(['msg' => 'Invalid request']);
        exit;
}
$params = [];
$api_url = getallheaders()['api-url'];
$api_method = getallheaders()['api-method'];


if ($api_method == 'post') {
    $params = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), TRUE);
    if (empty($params)) {
        $params = $_POST;
    }

Answer 1

You can use to call custom headers as an array

$headersArray = array();
foreach ($_SERVER as $key => $value) {
    if (strpos($key, 'HTTP_') === 0) {
        $headersArray[str_replace(' ', '', ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', strtolower(substr($key, 5)))))] = $value;
    }
}

Refer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/11709337/11298876, this answer was really helpful. Now you can use headers array to call each header (Note it will be in camel case)

$api_url = $headersArray['ApiUrl'];
$api_method = $headersArray['ApiMethod'];
$mobile = $headersArray['Mobilenumber'];
$brand = $headersArray['Branch'];
$auth = $headersArray['Authorization'];

to get the actual headers.

Then finally you can use an array_push(because you have used it in your script) like this

array_push($headers, "mobilenumber: ".$headersArray['Mobilenumber'], "branch: ".$headersArray['Branch'],"authorization: ".$headersArray['Authorization']);

to send the headers.
