header sent using fopen();

[yendor]

Is there any way, perhaps another function, to change the HTTP headers that PHP sends to a website.

Example
here's a file on my server.
mypage.php
<?
phpinfo();
?>

here is my request.

$FID = fopen("http://myserver/mypage.php","r");
fpassthru($FID);

When I look at at HTTP_USER_AGENT it is PHP/4.0.6

Is there a way to send the User agent headers for say IE 5.5,Netscape,Mozilla,etc.

Thanks in advance,

Rodney

Sure don't use fopen, open a socket, and do a raw get, then strip off the headers and add your own!

Thanks works great! 🙂

sumthing like this:
function Get_data($server,$port,$MyFile)
{

$sp = fsockopen($server,$port,$errno,$errstr,10);
if (!$sp)
{
die("Sorry our server is currently down =(");
}
set_socket_blocking($sp,false);
$UrlStr = sprintf("GET /%s HTTP/1.0\n\n",$MyFile);
fputs($sp,$UrlStr);
for($i=0; $i<4; $i++)
{
if(feof($sp)) break; // exit if connection broken
$sp_data.= fread($sp,31337);
usleep(500000);
}
return $sp_data;
}

I understood what phil posted! I didn't understand what Griffin Posted! My solution was more like this.

$fid = fsockopen("localhost",80,&$error_number, &$error_description,60);

if($fid)
{
fputs($fid, "GET /info.php HTTP/1.0");
fputs($fid, "\r\n");
fputs($fid, "USER-AGENT: Browser Whatever v1.0");
fputs($fid, "\r\n\r\n");

while(!feof($fid))
{
	print(fgets($fid, 4096));
}
fclose($fid);

}
else
{
print("Failed to open socket errors are $error_number, $error_description");
}
