Http Headers

[vizskywalker 0]

I know you can use the header() function to send http headers. But I want to know if it is possible to simply echo them, like you can print them in perl. Also, is it possible to create a non-expiring cookie. Most sites that have a remember me option imply set the cookie to expire in a year or two, but it will eventually expire. Is it possible to create a cookie that never expires?~Viz

1. I think you're looking for a command called headers_list();

2. for expiring issues. you could try to set the expiring variable to something like -10. If this doesn't work, maybe you should follow googles example and set the expiry date to 2038 :D

Actually, I'm not looking for a function. In perl, you can simply print http headers like so:

print "Location: http://astahost.com "Cookie: name = 'name', value = value\n";print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

The double newline character signals the end of the headers. I was wondering if using echo or print in php, the same thing was possible, because when I tried it, nothing happened, and I wondered if a special format was required, like maybe

Due to vujsa beating over the head with common sense (and a reread of the php manual) I have concluded that the answer to my question is no. Basically I was trying to be able to write

header 'Location: http://astahost.com;;

instead of

header('Location: http://astahost.com;;

which cannot be done. Thanks anyway.
