Hi Im using file() to get the contents of a webpage. e.g // get a web page into an array $fcontents= file ($targeturl); However I dont know how to mimic a different useragent. Using LWP::UA (in perl) i can pretend to be iexplore6 running on win2k or anything i want.. Is there a way i can do this in PHP? By changing the useragent will this also resolve problems with javascript?, I'd like the target server to think that I can view/run it. Thanks heaps, Todd.
