PHP Luminova: Management of Request Server Variables

The Server class acts as a structured wrapper around PHP's $_SERVER superglobal, providing a more organized way to interact with server-related data. By initializing the Server class with an array representation of $_SERVER, it allows for easier manipulation and access to server variables, enhancing the efficiency and clarity of server-side operations.

Class Definition

• Class namespace: \Luminova\Http\Server
• This class implements: \Luminova\Interface\LazyInterface, \Countable

Example Usage

The Server object is accessible via the request class as a public property: $request->server.

Get a Value for a Specific Key:

$value = $server->get('SERVER_NAME');

Set a New Value for a Key:

$server->set('QUERY_STRING', 'Default Query String');

Remove a Key:

$server->remove('SERVER_PORT');

Search for a Value:

$key = $server->search('localhost');

Check if a Key Exists:

if ($server->has('SERVER_SIGNATURE')) {
    // Key exists
}

Count the Number of Elements:

$count = $server->count();
