error: attempt access with invalid User Agent - 2009/07/25 07:37 Hi guys,

I trying to create a tailor made “Now Playing”-screen for a radio station called Rock Radio 1. All track info including AlbumArt is given here.

I tried to parse this page by

Code:


 $something = file_get_contents('http://www.rockradio1.com/modules.php?name=Now_Playing&file=playing-lite');

If I echo $something, I get the following error message:

Code:


 You have attempted to access this site with an invalid User Agent.

Anyone any idea how to solve this and be able to parse the page?

many thanks, regards, Klaas

Re: error: attempt access with invalid User Agent - 2009/07/25 17:21 I think this is what you are after, it lets you fake the user agent:

The exampe from the page:

Code:


 <?php
ini_set('user_agent', "PHP\r\nX-MyCustomHeader: Foo");

$fp = fopen('http://www.example.com/index.php', 'r');
?>

Re: error: attempt access with invalid User Agent - 2009/07/26 09:07 Hi Margot,

Thanks for the reply, but I’m afraid I’m not sure how to continue. What should I do next to get the access to the source of http://www.rockradio1.com/modules.php?name=Now_Playing&file=playing-lite, so I can parse the info?

many thanks in advance, regards, Klaas

Re: error: attempt access with invalid User Agent - 2009/07/26 13:12 Hi Klaas,

for me this works from the ShowCenter:

Code:


  <?php
    ini_set('user_agent','Mozilla/5.0;'); 

    $something = file_get_contents('http://www.rockradio1.com/modules.php?name=Now_Playing&file=playing-lite');
    echo $something;

?>

While this doesn't work and gives the same error message you described in the first post:

Code:


   <?php

    $something= file_get_contents('http://www.rockradio1.com/modules.php?name=Now_Playing&file=playing-lite');
    echo $something;

?>

I hope that's what you are after.
