Set an HTTP response header for the current page.

Note: When sending a Content-Type header, always include a 'charset' type, too. This is necessary to avoid security bugs (e.g. UTF-7 XSS).

Common functions that many Drupal modules will need to reference.

Code

function drupal_set_header($header = NULL) {
  // We use an array to guarantee there are no leading or trailing delimiters.
  // Otherwise, header('') could get called when serving the page later, which
  // ends HTTP headers prematurely on some PHP versions.
  static $stored_headers = array();

  if (strlen($header)) {
    header($header);
    $stored_headers[] = $header;
  }
  return implode("\n", $stored_headers);
}
