PHP fopen file_get_contents AND javascript top.location

BPG

Hi There,

I'm running into a little problem using "file_get_contents".
When i try to open a page just using my browser i can see the consents
of the page, however, when i try to open this same page with
file_get_contents all i get is:

<html><script language="javascript">top.location='/default.asp?
id=10script';></html>

It's the exact same URL as the one i open in my browser, is there a
way to get around this so that I can read the file using php?

Thnaks in advance,
BPG

Keep an eye on the addressbar... It will not be the same.. after a second.

Not automatically, no. This would require a javascript engine somewhere.
You can do this by either fetching to page through a UA on the server
itself which is javascript capable, or by examening the javascript 'by
hand' and fix things.

Quick fix in this case: regardless of what your original url might be,
fetch http://<the domain in question>/default.asp?id=10script

Some sites require you to send the user-agent request header.
Try using curl <http://php.net/curlinstead.

I did try to fetch http://<the domain in question>/default.asp?id=10,
this didn't work be course the "/default.asp?id=10" doesn't contain
the info i need.

However using curl did solve the problem, i didn't even know this
option in PHP, it's great for me it also makes me able to open some
other pages with didn't open before :)

Thanks you both for the help! :)
