Header Labels

Turn a request header value into a simple label.

Header Labels

header_label.php 
<?php
$accept = ;
$contentType = "text/plain";

if ($accept === "json") {
    $contentType = "application/json";
} elseif ($accept === "html") {
    $contentType = "text/html";
}

echo "accept=" . $accept . "\n";
echo "contentType=" . $contentType . "\n";

<?php
$accept = ;
$contentType = "text/plain";

if ($accept === "json") {
    $contentType = "application/json";
} elseif ($accept === "html") {
    $contentType = "text/html";
}

echo "accept=" . $accept . "\n";
echo "contentType=" . $contentType . "\n";

<?php
$accept = ;
$contentType = "text/plain";

if ($accept === "json") {
    $contentType = "application/json";
} elseif ($accept === "html") {
    $contentType = "text/html";
}

echo "accept=" . $accept . "\n";
echo "contentType=" . $contentType . "\n";
header-label Request headers can influence response behavior, but static examples should model them with local scalar values.
