Check Content-type POST request PHP

Question

How can I check if the Content-type of a POST request in PHP is either application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded?

I've tried using $_SERVER["CONTENT_TYPE"] and echo get_headers('url', 1)["Content-Type"] but neither of those work for me.

$_SERVER["CONTENT_TYPE"] must work

echo '<pre>'; print_r(getallheaders());

So

$allHeaders = getallheaders(); $contentType = $allHeaders['Content-Type'];

No problem :) Be aware that you should always distrust user input and sanitise the input. The most commonly known abuse of this is SQL-injection. But headers are also being considered user-input.

It's working below codes. You can try it

$headerArray = getallheaders(); $contentType = $headerArray['Content-Type']; (Or) $contentType = $_SERVER["CONTENT_TYPE"]; (Or) $headerArray = apache_request_headers(); $contentType = $headerArray['Content-Type'];
