CHttpRequest

Package system.web
Inheritance class CHttpRequest » CApplicationComponent » CComponent
Implements IApplicationComponent
Since 1.0
Source Code framework/web/CHttpRequest.php
CHttpRequest encapsulates the $_SERVER variable and resolves its inconsistency among different Web servers.

CHttpRequest also manages the cookies sent from and sent to the user. By setting enableCookieValidation to true, cookies sent from the user will be validated to see if they are tampered. The property cookies returns the collection of cookies. For more details, see CCookieCollection.

CHttpRequest is a default application component loaded by CWebApplication. It can be accessed via CWebApplication::getRequest().

Property Details

acceptTypes property read-only
public string getAcceptTypes()

Returns user browser accept types, null if not present.

baseUrl property

browser property read-only
public array getBrowser(string $userAgent=NULL)

Returns information about the capabilities of user browser.

contentType property read-only (available since v1.1.17)
public string getContentType()

Returns request content-type The Content-Type header field indicates the MIME type of the data contained in getRawBody() or, in the case of the HEAD method, the media type that would have been sent had the request been a GET.

cookies property read-only

csrfCookie property
public array $csrfCookie;

the property values (in name-value pairs) used to initialize the CSRF cookie. Any property of CHttpCookie may be initialized. This property is effective only when enableCsrfValidation is true.

csrfToken property read-only
public string getCsrfToken()

Returns the random token used to perform CSRF validation. The token will be read from cookie first. If not found, a new token will be generated.

Parses an HTTP Accept header, returning an array map with all parts of each entry. Each array entry consists of a map with the type, subType, baseType and params, an array map of key-value parameters, obligatorily including a `q` value (i.e. preference ranking) as a double. For example, an Accept header value of 'application/xhtml+xml;q=0.9;level=1' would give an array entry of

array(
       'type' => 'application',
       'subType' => 'xhtml',
       'baseType' => 'xml',
       'params' => array(
           'q' => 0.9,
           'level' => '1',
       ),
)


Please note: To avoid great complexity, there are no steps taken to ensure that quoted strings are treated properly. If the header text includes quoted strings containing space or the , or ; characters then the results may not be correct!

See also http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.1 for details on Accept header.

Sends existing file to a browser as a download using x-sendfile.

X-Sendfile is a feature allowing a web application to redirect the request for a file to the webserver that in turn processes the request, this way eliminating the need to perform tasks like reading the file and sending it to the user. When dealing with a lot of files (or very big files) this can lead to a great increase in performance as the web application is allowed to terminate earlier while the webserver is handling the request.

The request is sent to the server through a special non-standard HTTP-header. When the web server encounters the presence of such header it will discard all output and send the file specified by that header using web server internals including all optimizations like caching-headers.

As this header directive is non-standard different directives exists for different web servers applications:

So for this method to work the X-SENDFILE option/module should be enabled by the web server and a proper xHeader should be sent.

Note: This option allows to download files that are not under web folders, and even files that are otherwise protected (deny from all) like .htaccess

Side effects: If this option is disabled by the web server, when this method is called a download configuration dialog will open but the downloaded file will have 0 bytes.

Known issues: There is a Bug with Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 when X-SENDFILE is used over an SSL connection, it will show an error message like this: "Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.". You can work around this problem by removing the Pragma-header.

Example:
<?php
   Yii::app()->request->xSendFile('/home/user/Pictures/picture1.jpg',array(
       'saveName'=>'image1.jpg',
       'mimeType'=>'image/jpeg',
       'terminate'=>false,
   ));
?>
