Sending a User-Agent header

jx2

i just try it it works for bbc site
your server might not allow you openning anything out of your root folder
especialy if your site is hosted
[php]
$a = file("http://www.bbc.co.uk");
$a = implode($a);

echo htmlentities($a);

[/php]
LOL they recognize browser and sent me WAP like formated page

any one know how to pretend tha PHP is IE?

Heya, JX2.

To do that, you'll need to either create an HTTP stream context or else use cURL so that you can set the User-Agent header.

Heya, JX2.

I went ahead and split these posts into their own thread so as to avoid hijacking NewLearner's thread.

Here's a basic example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
$context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array(

    'method'    => 'get',

    'header'    => 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/522.11.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.3 Safari/522.12.1'

)));
 
$data = file_get_contents($url, $context);

This code will send the User-Agent header with the HTTP GET request.

For more information, check out this document.

    'header'    => 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/522.11.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.3 Safari/522.12.1'

)));
 
$fp = fopen($url,false,$context);

fpasthrou($fp);

as usually you are the man!!
