Note Submitter: programings at abv dot bg ---- I found a very simple and crafty way to protect some information in your web page using protection by header with $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']. <?php $password = "dog"; if($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']==$password) { echo "Access Granted"; } else { echo "Some default info"; } ?> Now you can change your User-Agent header with LiveHTTPHeader (addon for Mozilla Firefox that capture HTTP headers) for example, and the secret info will be shown in the page.
