but when i print using laravel functions like:

print_r($request->header()); or print_r($request->headers->all());

it never print out my required variables in array. it print outs below output

    [host] => Array
        (
            [0] => abc.com
        )

    [connection] => Array
        (
            [0] => keep-alive
        )

    [cache-control] => Array
        (
            [0] => max-age=0
        )

    [upgrade-insecure-requests] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
        )

    [user-agent] => Array
        (
            [0] => Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36
        )

    [accept] => Array
        (
            [0] => text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
        )

    [accept-encoding] => Array
        (
            [0] => gzip, deflate, sdch
        )

    [accept-language] => Array
        (
            [0] => en-US,en;q=0.8
        )

    [cookie] => Array
        (
            [0] => cookie
        )

)

how i can print all the values in laravel function the same i can do with this getallheaders()?

just because your using laravel does not mean you can't use `getallheaders()` — , Mar 01 '17 at 21:09
Yes, or the function of which it is an alias, apache_request_headers ( ). Initially, I thought Laravel was hiding some of the headers, but, apparently not; I compared the lists side by side, and everything is accounted for. — David A. Gray, Jan 30 '18 at 00:22

An alternative to @Shedokan's answer using Laravel collections transform() method instead of array_map:

$headers = collect($request->header())->transform(function ($item) {
    return $item[0];
});

This way $headers will be a collection so you can then use the toArray() method to convert back to an array. Since this is a collection it also has access to any of the other collection methods.

Laravel uses Symphony, which keeps all header values in sub arrays, so we can just map the array and get them out:

$get_first = function($x){
    return $x[0];
};
// Same as getallheaders(), just with lowercase keys
print_r(array_map($get_first, $request->headers->all()));

Note: All keys are lowercase

You can use below code:

$header = app('request')->header('header_name', 'default_header_value');

when $request is not available.
