In PHP < 5.4 is there any way to get a status response code you just set?

I know in php 5.4 there is a new function http_response_code(), but in prior versions how would you get a response code you just set?

Similar to Is there any way to get the current HTTP response code from PHP?

I have this need:

 //sometime earlier
 header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');


//sometime later, detect if error was set
$status = some_magic_way_to_find_status();

Does anyone have a way in php 5.3 or below to do this?

For set http code use with PHP 5.3 or prior (you can create a file called http_response_code.php and put this content):

/*Check if function is available (php5.3<)*/
if (false === function_exists('http_response_code')) {
    /* Fallback */

    function http_response_code($code = null)
    {
        static $currentStatus;

        if ($code === null) {
            if ($currentStatus !== null) {
                return $currentStatus;
            }

            $currentStatus = 200;

            if (empty($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) === false &&
                preg_match('#/RESERVED\.HTTP\-STATUS\-(\d{3})\.html$#', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $match) > 0)
            {
                $currentStatus = (int) $match[1];
            }
        } elseif (is_int($code) && headers_sent() === false) {
            header('X-PHP-Response-Code: ' . $code, true, $code);
            $currentStatus = $code;
        }

        return $currentStatus;
    }
}

For use call:

<?php

require 'foo/bar/http_response_code.php';

$code = http_response_code();
http_response_code(403);

echo 'Initial HTTP code: ', $code, '<br>', PHP_EOL;
echo 'Current HTTP code: ', http_response_code(), '<br>', PHP_EOL;

This code returns:

Initial HTTP code: 200
Current HTTP code: 403

This function check server error using URL reserved, for work use this configs:

.htacces (Apache)

ErrorDocument 403 /error.php/RESERVED.HTTP-STATUS-403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error.php/RESERVED.HTTP-STATUS-404.html

nginx

error_page 404 /RESERVED.HTTP-STATUS-404.html;
error_page 403 /RESERVED.HTTP-STATUS-403.html;

location ~ ^/RESERVED\.HTTP\-STATUS\-(403|404)\.html$ {
    rewrite ^/RESERVED\.HTTP\-STATUS\-(403|404)\.html$ /error.php$0 last;
}

IIS

<httpErrors errorMode="Custom">
    <remove statusCode="403" />
    <remove statusCode="404" />
    <error statusCode="403" path="/error.php/RESERVED.HTTP-STATUS-403.html" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
    <error statusCode="404" path="/error.php/RESERVED.HTTP-STATUS-501.html" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
</httpErrors>

The error.php is a example, can change if needed. In your script page use (error.php):

<?php

require 'foo/bar/http_response_code.php';

echo 'Error page, status: ', http_response_code();

For load a "template":

<?php

require 'foo/bar/http_response_code.php';

include 'template/error/http_' . $code . '.php';

EDIT: As @Esailija wrote: Notice that you need to rewrite all your header calls to use this function for this to work

Found this code in the manual, http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.http-response-code.php#107261

<?php

I don't think it's possible.

You could wrap the header() function:

function my_status_header($setHeader=null) {
    static $theHeader=null;
    //if we already set it, then return what we set before (can't set it twice anyway)
    if($theHeader) {return $theHeader;}
    $theHeader = $setHeader;
    header('HTTP/1.1 '.$setHeader);
    return $setHeader;
}

Or, of course, you could always upgrade to PHP5.4.
