Read a website with Fopen()

[zenner]

Hello.
when i try to "read" some websites with fopen() some of them allow but
some don't
Does the server knows that it´s not a web browser that it's trying to
access?
How can i solve this??

Below is an example of a site that gives an error when you try to read
it.

<?php
$file="http://www.radios.pt/portalradio/";
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
while (!feof($fp))
{
$a=$a.fgets($fp);
}
fclose($fp);
echo $a;
?>

Hi,

You can adjust the User-Agent header like so:

ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071115 Firefox/2.0.0.10');

Then fetch a page:

$doc = file_get_contents('http://example.net');

If you want to implement a mirror, you can use mod_proxy and
mod_proxy_html. For example:

ProxyPass /my/mirror/ http://example.net/

If you want to store locally a page and associated images and scripts,
you can use wget with the -p option:

wget -p http://example.net

They could be checking the headers for the user agent. Like anything
sent by the client, however, it's not very reliable.

Usually when they do such things it's because they don't want people
accessing their site from scripts.

Use curl.

Read a website with Fopen()

You don't want to do that as it will not work in a sane php setup
(allow_url_fopen should be disabled).

Use fsockopen and the HTTP Protocol manually or use a class like Pears HTTP.

Curious: why should it be?

$handle = fopen("http://www.radios.pt/portalradio/", "rb");
$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle))
{$contents .= fread($handle, 8192);}
fclose($handle);

$filename="content.txt"; $fp=fopen($filename,"w"); fwrite ($fp,
$contents); fclose($fp);
