PHP HTTP context options

Introduction

The following is a list of context options for http:// and https:// transports

method	HTTP method supported by the remote server. Default is GET.
header	Additional header information sent during the request.
user_agent	The value sent with the User-Agent: header. By default the user_agent php.ini setting is used.
content	Additional data sent after the header information. Typically used with POST or PUT requests.
proxy	Specifies the URI of the proxy server address.
request_fulluri boolean	When set to TRUE, the entire URI will be used when constructing the request. Default is FALSE.
follow_location	Redirect that follows the Location header information. Set to 0 to disable. Default is 1.
max_redirects	Maximum number of redirects to follow.
protocol_version	HTTP protocol version. Default is 1.0.
timeout	Read timeout in seconds, specified as a float (e.g. 10.5).
ignore_errors	Get content even on failure status code. Default is FALSE.

The following example gets header information and content from http:// URL

Example

<?php
$url = "http://localhost/testscript.php";
$opts = array(&#39;http&#39; =>
array(
   &#39;method&#39; => &#39;GET&#39;,
   &#39;max_redirects&#39; => &#39;0&#39;,
   &#39;ignore_errors&#39; => &#39;1&#39;
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$stream = fopen($url, &#39;r&#39;, false, $context);
var_dump(stream_get_meta_data($stream));
?>

Output

This will display the title information and metadata as follows −

array(10) {
    ["timed_out"]=>
    bool(false)
    ["blocked"]=>
    bool(true)
    ["eof"]=>
    bool(false)
    ["wrapper_data"]=>
