Re: Can a website block the use of file_get_contents ?

Hi,

This site has user agent detection. Change your UA string to a well-
known one:

ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB;
rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11');

Then you can download the page.

Regards,

John Peters

Example : file_get_contents("http://www.google.com";) works fine, but
file_get_contents("http://www.petitscailloux.com/Follow.aspx?
sUrl=http://www.seloger.com/199986/16271207/detail.htm";) does not.

Any clues or ways to circumvent ?

Thanks a lot !
