Deprecated
Parameters
- string $filename

etag() public ¶
etag( string|null $hash null , boolean $weak false )
Sets the response Etag, Etags are a strong indicative that a response can be cached by a HTTP client. A bad way of generating Etags is creating a hash of the response output, instead generate a unique hash of the unique components that identifies a request, such as a modification time, a resource Id, and anything else you consider it makes it unique.
Second parameter is used to instruct clients that the content has changed, but semantically, it can be used as the same thing. Think for instance of a page with a hit counter, two different page views are equivalent, but they differ by a few bytes. This leaves off to the Client the decision of using or not the cached page.
If no parameters are passed, current Etag header is returned.
Deprecated
Parameters
- string|null $hash optional null
- The unique hash that identifies this response
- boolean $weak optional false
Whether the response is semantically the same as other with the same hash or not

The status code is a 3-digit integer result code of the server's attempt to understand and satisfy the request.

Buffers a header string to be sent Returns the complete list of buffered headers
Single header
header('Location', 'http://example.com');
Multiple headers
header(['Location' => 'http://example.com', 'X-Extra' => 'My header']);
String header
header('WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate');
Array of string headers
header(['WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate', 'Content-type: application/pdf']);
Multiple calls for setting the same header name will have the same effect as setting the header once with the last value sent for it
header('WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate'); header('WWW-Authenticate: Not-Negotiate');
will have the same effect as only doing
header('WWW-Authenticate: Not-Negotiate');

httpCodes() public ¶
httpCodes( integer|array|null $code null )

If $code is an array, then the keys are used as codes and the values as messages to add to the default HTTP codes. The codes must be integers greater than 99 and less than 1000. Keep in mind that the HTTP specification outlines that status codes begin with a digit between 1 and 5, which defines the class of response the client is to expect. Example:
httpCodes(404); // returns [404 => 'Not Found'] httpCodes([ 381 => 'Unicorn Moved', 555 => 'Unexpected Minotaur' ]); // sets these new values, and returns true httpCodes([ 0 => 'Nothing Here', -1 => 'Reverse Infinity', 12345 => 'Universal Password', 'Hello' => 'World' ]); // throws an exception due to invalid codes For more on HTTP status codes see: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html#sec6.1

Returns
withEtag() public ¶
withEtag( string $hash , boolean $weak false )
Create a new instance with the Etag header set.
Etags are a strong indicative that a response can be cached by a HTTP client. A bad way of generating Etags is creating a hash of the response output, instead generate a unique hash of the unique components that identifies a request, such as a modification time, a resource Id, and anything else you consider it that makes the response unique.
The second parameter is used to inform clients that the content has changed, but semantically it is equivalent to existing cached values. Consider a page with a hit counter, two different page views are equivalent, but they differ by a few bytes. This permits the Client to decide whether they should use the cached data.
Parameters
- string $hash
- The unique hash that identifies this response
- boolean $weak optional false
Whether the response is semantically the same as other with the same hash or not. Defaults to false

If the status code is 304 or 204, the existing Content-Type header will be cleared, as these response codes have no body.
