PHP How do you tell the difference between a request for .php, .html, .asp, .... and a request for a linked .jpg, .css, .js etc.?

[gregaryb]

The request headers and $_SERVER contents are always absolutely identical!

Google AI tells me this works...

But it is utter nonsense. All the requests are 'document'!

There has GOT TO BE a way to distinguish the requests SURELY????

I am trying to record hits on a web page and I don't want to record all the requests for associated images, js files and css files etc as unique hits on index.php (or whatever).

                    $strDestination = $_SERVER["HTTP_SEC_FETCH_DEST"] ?? "";
                    if (in_array($strDestination, ["script", "style", "image", "font", "iframe"]))
                    {
                        PrintJavascriptLine("console.log('Request for image, script, style or font so page hit was not added to database...');", 1, true);
                    }
                    else if ($strDestination === "document")

I do believe this is what you're looking for:

// get the request uri 
$requestUri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];$path = parse_url($requestUri, PHP_URL_PATH);

//get the request extension
$extension = strtolower(pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

// Define static asset types
$assets = ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif', 'css', 'js', 'ico', 'svg'];

// define document types
$documents = ['php', 'html', 'htm', 'asp', 'aspx'];

if (in_array($extension, $assets)) {

    // It is a linked static asset
    echo "Static asset requested: " . $extension;
} elseif (in_array($extension, $documents) || empty($extension)) {

    // It is a page request (empty extension usually means a directory index like index.php)
    echo "Page requested: " . $extension;
}
