[PHP] file_get_contents / url wrappers

[Mike Dunlop]

Hi gang,

If i am trying to read the contents of url into a string and I am  
getting 403 errors yet the page will load perfectly through a normal  
browser, do u think the site is looking at the http request headers  
and determining it's not a browser and thus blocking access? If  
something like that was happening, does anyone know what headers i  
should put into a request to simulate a browser?

error msg :: <...> failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/ 
1.1 403 Forbidden in <...>

Any info is much appreciated.

Thanks - MD
