Get Header Authorization key in laravel controller?

Question

Trying to get the header authorization key in controller for making an API. Request is making from fiddler.

$headers = apache_request_headers(); 

And the $header contains an array.

Array (     [User-Agent] => Fiddler     [Host] => localhost:8000     [Content-Length] => 102     [Authorization] => TestKey ) 

If am trying like this to fetch the Authorization , its throwing error.

$header['Authorization] 

Error :

Undefined index: Authorization 

Tried many ways to get the authorization, but not working anything. Is there any way to fetch this?

Answer 1

To get headers from the request you should use the Request class

public function yourControllerFunction(\Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {     $header = $request->header('Authorization');      // do some stuff } 

See https://laravel.com/api/5.5/Illuminate/Http/Request.html#method_header
