PHP: HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH doesn't exist when requesting page with AJAX

I searched for an answer in many related questions and none of them actually fix my problem, so I have this code:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {

}else{
    echo("This page can't be accessed.");
}

I tried renaming HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH to HTTP_X_REQUEST_WITH, because of another questions answer I saw that sometimes the request is sent as HTTP_X_REQUEST_WITH and not HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH.

but none of those worked, which is quite strange since it worked a few days ago...

The HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH has been changed to X_REQUESTED_WITH for major modern browsers. Note that some browsers may still use HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH.

AJAX requests don't automatically get HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH headers.

jQuery and most other libraries send it, but if you've rolled your own AJAX, you need to roll your own HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH headers.
