Get headers on Appengine GAE PHP

I found out that the common PHP function getallheaders() is unavailable on GAE. How do i access custom headers set by the client? For example an AJAX post contains a header "RestAuth: pk_1234123".

To follow up @Stuart..straight from the man page referenced by @Tom

if (!function_exists('getallheaders')) 
{ 
    function getallheaders() 
    { 
           $headers = ''; 
       foreach ($_SERVER as $name => $value) 
       { 
           if (substr($name, 0, 5) == 'HTTP_') 
           { 
               $headers[str_replace(' ', '-', ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', substr($name, 5)))))] = $value; 
           } 
       } 
       return $headers; 
    } 
}

So basically from your client you post RestAuth which turns into HTTP_RESTAUTH on the server which above function will finally return as Restauth. Play with the ucwords() if you prefer differently.

getallheaders() is an apache extension.

You can retrieve the headers from the $_SERVER superglobal. All of the request headers are capitalized and the header name is prepended with 'HTTP_'.

In you're case, the header 'RestAuth' would be available as $_SERVER['HTTP_RESTAUTH'].
