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;
?>



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.
