I've been trying to read a page with fsockopen, that page returns a location
header but when parsing the header and trying to read the page
it points to I get a different result than when using my browser...
Does any one have any suggestions how to get the same result as when using a
browser?
I included the function i wrote to get html pages...
and this is the basic structure of my code to read the page...
$page = GetPage("GET blah.com/blah.html");
$newurl = parse the $page for the location header;
$page = GetPage("GET $newurl");
the final result is different as I said than when using my browser... the
site i'm trying to access somehow knows that i'm not using a browser or
something like
that
any ideas at all would be welcome!!
