php中可以通过curl来模拟http请求，同时可以获取http response header和body，当然也设置参数可以只获取其中的某一个。当设置同时获取response header和body时候，它们会一同作为结果返回。这时需要我们自己来分离它们。
下面代码是模拟向google一个http GET请求
function httpGet() {
$url = 'http://www.google.com.hk';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE); //表示需要response header
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, FALSE); //表示需要response body
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) == '200') {
return $result;
}
return NULL;
}调用上述方法后看到如下类似输出：

这里可以看到结果中header和body信息是在一起的，那么如何分离它们呢。方法有二种，一是通过curl自带的curl_getinfo()方法获取头的长度，然后使用substr来分割字符串。示例代码如下：
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) == '200') {
$headerSize = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
$header = substr($response, 0, $headerSize);
$body = substr($response, $headerSize);
}
第二种方法基于header和body是通过两个回车换行来分割的，所以可以通过如下代码实现：
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) == '200') {
list($header, $body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", response, 2);
}
