Trying to get the header authorization key in controller for making an API. Request is making from fiddler.

$headers = apache_request_headers();

And the $header contains an array.

Array
(
    [User-Agent] => Fiddler
    [Host] => localhost:8000
    [Content-Length] => 102
    [Authorization] => TestKey
)

If am trying like this to fetch the Authorization , its throwing error.

$header['Authorization]

Error :

Undefined index: Authorization

Tried many ways to get the authorization, but not working anything. Is there any way to fetch this?

Answer

To get headers from the request you should use the Request class

public function yourControllerFunction(\Illuminate\Http\Request $request)
{
    $header = $request->header('Authorization');

    // do some stuff
}
