Apache_request_headers () vs $ _SERVER

As far as I can tell, apache_request_headers() provides the same information as $_SERVER , but with slightly different keys. Why would anyone use apache_request_headers() rather than just getting this information from $_SERVER ? I am working with PHP 5.3.18 with Apache on Centos. thank you

EDIT. identical data from $_SERVER and apache_request_headers()

I would suggest that the function only works with Apache. but this is just a wild guess

Also, I would guess that the function returns ALL headers, where I think $ _SERVER contains a predefined set of headers

Because apache_request_headers () returns an associative array of all the HTTP headers in the current request, where $ _ SERVER gives more than

  • Title Details
  • Path Details
  • script location

apache_request_headers not fully (fully) migrated, and $_SERVER not fully completed. In particular, $_SERVER never contains an Authorization header, regardless of whether PHP can handle its value internally or not.

Since 5.4.0 apache_request_headers been fixed to also show all headers in CGI deployments.
