PHP: set user agent using file_get_contents()

set-user-agent-file_get_contents.php

<?php
$options  = array('http' => array('user_agent' => 'custom user agent string'));
$context  = stream_context_create($options);
$response = file_get_contents('http://domain/path/to/uri', false, $context);

Works like a charm!!! 🥰

This was helpful to me. Thanks!

Or set it globally

ini_set('user_agent', 'SomeBrowser v42.0.4711');

$response = file_get_contents('http://domain/path/to/uri');
