First of all, when you are using PHP on a website, everything regarding PHP is 
executed on the web server, so the users web browser will not do anything more 
than send a form to your script.

If you want to have header information which curl sent to the server, you can 
do the following before you use curl_close():

	$sentheader = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT);



If you want to have the header you got from the remote server, then do the 
following before curl_exec():

	curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, 1);

and before curl_close():

	$header_size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
	$header = substr($response, 0, $header_size);


If you are interested of seeing the header that the user sent when they posted 
the the form:

	$headers = apache_request_headers();

	foreach ($headers as $header => $value) {
		echo "$header: $value <br />\n";
	}

This will only work on a apache server, depending on how you have setup the 
apache server to execute php. There is suggestion on a work around which you 
can read at:
