Simple PHP Proxy Script

proxy.php

<?php 

  /*
  * Warning! Read and use at your own risk!
  *
  * This tiny proxy script is completely transparent and it passes 
  * all requests and headers without any checking of any kind.
  * The same happens with JSON data. They are simply forwarded.
  *
  * This is just an easy and convenient solution for the AJAX 
  * cross-domain request issue, during development.
  * No sanitization of input is made either, so use this only
  * if you are sure your requests are made correctly and
  * your urls are valid.

Here is a working code:

<?php
// Get the URL of the server to proxy requests to
$proxy_url = "https://example.com/";

// Get the path from the query string
$path = $_GET['path'];

// Construct the full URL to request
$url = $proxy_url . $path;

// Initialize a CURL session
$ch = curl_init($url);

// Set request method
$request_method = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'];
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $request_method);

// Check if it's a POST, PUT, or PATCH request and set appropriate options
if ($request_method === 'POST' || $request_method === 'PUT' || $request_method === 'PATCH') {
    // Forward POST data
    $post_data = file_get_contents('php://input');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
}

// Get request headers
$headers = [];
foreach (getallheaders() as $name => $value) {
    $headers[] = $name . ': ' . $value;
}

// Set headers in CURL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

// Set other CURL options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Execute the request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if(curl_error($ch)) {
    // If there's an error, output it
    echo 'Error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}

// Close CURL session
curl_close($ch);

// Output the response
echo $response;
?>
