On my website users can enter a HTTP status code into a standard text input field. i.e, 200, 400, 404, 403 etc...
Is there any way to check if the HTTP status code is valid. For example if a user enters '123' it will return false. I currently cannot think of or find a way other than doing a large ugly if or switch statement.
For those using Symfony or Laravel, you can do the following :
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
function is_valid_http_status(int $code) : bool {
// thanks @James in the comments ^^
return array_key_exists($code, Response::$statusTexts);
}
Assuming that Response is one of those:
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ResponseIlluminate\Http\Response
array_key_exists($code, Response::$statusTexts)According to w3.org the following HTTP/1.1 status codes are valid:
$status_code = array("100","101","200","201","202","203","204","205","206","300","301","302","303","304","305","306","307","400","401","402","403","404","405","406","407","408","409","410","411","412","413","414","415","416","417","500","501","502","503","504","505");
if(in_array("404", $status_code)){
echo "valid";
}else{
echo "invalid";
}
There are no built-in functions to achieve this in PHP, but a less verbose way for a check than an if or switch statement could be the use of an array:
$validStatusCodes = [200, 201, 202, ...];
if (in_array($submittedStatusCode, $validStatusCodes)) {
// Ok
} else {
// Not ok
}
