(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
apache_lookup_uri — Perform a partial request for the specified URI and return all info about it
$filename
)This performs a partial request for a URI. It goes just far enough to obtain all the important information about the given resource.
This function is supported when PHP is installed as an Apache module or by the NSAPI server module in Netscape/iPlanet/SunONE webservers.
filenameThe filename (URI) that's being requested.
An object of related URI information. The properties of this object are:
Example #1 apache_lookup_uri() example
<?php
$info = apache_lookup_uri('index.php?var=value');
print_r($info);
if (file_exists($info->filename)) {
echo 'file exists!';
}
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
stdClass Object
(
[status] => 200
[the_request] => GET /dir/file.php HTTP/1.1
[method] => GET
[mtime] => 0
[clength] => 0
[chunked] => 0
[content_type] => application/x-httpd-php
[no_cache] => 0
[no_local_copy] => 1
[unparsed_uri] => /dir/index.php?var=value
[uri] => /dir/index.php
[filename] => /home/htdocs/dir/index.php
[args] => var=value
[allowed] => 0
[sent_bodyct] => 0
[bytes_sent] => 0
[request_time] => 1074282764
)
file exists!
bug: with apache 2, apache_lookup_uri("/directory") spits out a warning and fails to return anything. apache_lookup_uri("/directory/") works.
another bug: virtual("something") forces a header flush. I know it's documented, but it would be rather wonderful if it didn't do this. You never ever want to flush headers when you're using virtual() to include a dynamic file such as a PHP or Perl file, which excludes virtual() from being used on most of any website's contents :-(.
A useful feature is that if you have content negotiation on (Options MultiViews) Apache will resolve the negotiation for you if possible. Thus www.example.com/blah will resolve to /base/blah.php or /base/blah.html or even /base/blah.en.html as appropriate.
It's a very usefull function but it doesn't show all outputs. For example I only see:
[status]
[the_request]
[method]
[mtime]
[clength]
[chunked]
[content_type]
[no_cache]
[no_local_copy]
[unparsed_uri]
[uri]
[filename]
[path_info]
[allowed]
[sent_bodyct]
[bytes_sent]
[request_time]
