While I applaud the idea of making this easier, keep in mind that a single
request can have multiple status code responses:
<?php
$s = fopen('http://gimmebar.com/', 'r');
$m = stream_get_meta_data($s);
var_dump(array_filter($m['wrapper_data'], function ($l) {
if (substr($l, 0, 5) === 'HTTP/') {
return true;
}
}));
Outputs:
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(18) "HTTP/1.1 302 Found"
[8]=>
string(15) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
}
There could also be a large number of "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" headers in there,
or more 300 series redirects.
Putting the headers into an associative array also has similar problems (there
can be many headers with the same name).
This can, of course, be worked around, but it's not as simple as just expecting
a single response code from a HTTP stream request.
Aside, but related: most code I'd written prior to ~6 months ago, and most of
the example code I've seen does something like:
list($prot, $status, $msg) = explode($m['wrapper_data'][0], 3);
…which is a nasty bug to track down.
