以下是我对这场辩论的看法……这将返回一个单独的数组，其中分隔了数据并列出了标题。这是基于CURL将返回一个头数据块[空行]数据

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); // we need this to get headers back
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);

// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);

$lines = explode("\n",$output);

$out = array();
$headers = true;

foreach ($lines as $l){
    $l = trim($l);

    if ($headers && !empty($l)){
        if (strpos($l,'HTTP') !== false){
            $p = explode(' ',$l);
            $out['Headers']['Status'] = trim($p[1]);
        } else {
            $p = explode(':',$l);
            $out['Headers'][$p[0]] = trim($p[1]);
        }
    } elseif (!empty($l)) {
        $out['Data'] = $l;
    }

    if (empty($l)){
        $headers = false;
    }
}

返回带有引用参数的响应头:

<?php
$data=array('device_token'=>'5641c5b10751c49c07ceb4',
            'content'=>'测试测试test'
           );
$rtn=curl_to_host('POST', 'http://test.com/send_by_device_token', array(), $data, $resp_headers);
echo $rtn;
var_export($resp_headers);

function curl_to_host($method, $url, $headers, $data, &$resp_headers)
         {$ch=curl_init($url);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $GLOBALS['POST_TO_HOST.LINE_TIMEOUT']?$GLOBALS['POST_TO_HOST.LINE_TIMEOUT']:5);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $GLOBALS['POST_TO_HOST.TOTAL_TIMEOUT']?$GLOBALS['POST_TO_HOST.TOTAL_TIMEOUT']:20);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

          if ($method=='POST')
             {curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
             }
          foreach ($headers as $k=>$v)
                  {$headers[$k]=str_replace(' ', '-', ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', $k)))).': '.$v;
                  }
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
          $rtn=curl_exec($ch);
          curl_close($ch);

          $rtn=explode("\r\n\r\nHTTP/", $rtn, 2);    //to deal with "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue\r\n\r\nHTTP/1.1 200 OK...\r\n\r\n..." header
          $rtn=(count($rtn)>1 ? 'HTTP/' : '').array_pop($rtn);
          list($str_resp_headers, $rtn)=explode("\r\n\r\n", $rtn, 2);

          $str_resp_headers=explode("\r\n", $str_resp_headers);
          array_shift($str_resp_headers);    //get rid of "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
          $resp_headers=array();
          foreach ($str_resp_headers as $k=>$v)
                  {$v=explode(': ', $v, 2);
                   $resp_headers[$v[0]]=$v[1];
                  }

          return $rtn;
         }
?>

杰弗里回答的改进:

我不能得到正确的长度头部与$headerSize = curl_getinfo($this->curlHandler, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);-我必须计算头部大小我自己。

此外，为了提高可读性，还做了一些改进。

$headerSize = 0;
curl_setopt_array($this->curlHandler, [
CURLOPT_URL => $yourUrl,
CURLOPT_POST => 0,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
// this function is called by curl for each header received
CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION =>
         function ($curl, $header) use (&$headers, &$headerSize) {
              $lenghtCurrentLine = strlen($header);
              $headerSize += $lenghtCurrentLine;
              $header = explode(':', $header, 2);
              if (count($header) > 1) { // store only vadid headers
                   $headers[strtolower(trim($header[0]))][] = trim($header[1]);
              }
              return $lenghtCurrentLine;
           },
]);
$fullResult = curl_exec($this->curlHandler);
$result = substr($fullResult, $headerSize);

更好的方法是使用详细的CURL响应，可以通过管道连接到临时流。然后可以在响应中搜索报头名称。这可能需要一些调整，但对我来说很管用:

class genericCURL {
    /**
     * NB this is designed for getting data, or for posting JSON data
     */
    public function request($url, $method = 'GET', $data = array()) {
        $ch = curl_init();
        
        if($method == 'POST') {
            
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $string = json_encode($data));
            
        }

        
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
        
        //open a temporary stream to output the curl log, which would normally got to STDERR
        $err = fopen("php://temp", "w+");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $err);
        

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        $server_output = curl_exec ($ch);
        
        //rewind the temp stream and put it into a string   
        rewind($err);
        $this->curl_log = stream_get_contents($err);
        
        curl_close($ch);
        fclose($err);

    
        return $server_output;
        
    }
    
    /**
     * use the curl log to get a header value
     */
    public function getReturnHeaderValue($header) {
        $log = explode("\n", str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $this->curl_log));
        foreach($log as $line) {
            //is the requested header there
            if(stripos($line, '< ' . $header . ':') !== false) {
                $value = trim(substr($line, strlen($header) + 3));
                return $value;
            }
        }
        //still here implies not found so return false
        return false;
        
    }
}

如果你特别想要Content-Type，有一个特殊的cURL选项来检索它:

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$content_type = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE);

Curl有一个内置的选项，叫做CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION。此选项的值必须为回调函数的名称。Curl将逐行将标题(而且仅是标题!)传递给这个回调函数(因此该函数将对每个标题行调用，从标题部分的顶部开始)。然后你的回调函数可以对它做任何事情(并且必须返回给定行的字节数)。下面是经过测试的工作代码:

function HandleHeaderLine( $curl, $header_line ) {
    echo "<br>YEAH: ".$header_line; // or do whatever
    return strlen($header_line);
}


$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, "HandleHeaderLine");
$body = curl_exec($ch); 

上面的工作与一切，不同的协议和代理，你不需要担心头部的大小，或设置许多不同的卷曲选项。

注:要用object方法处理标题行，请这样做:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, array($object, 'methodName'))
