Hi! I'm hoping someone here can help me find the answer to a problem that has been driving me nuts today.

Can anyone here tell me how to set the user agent string in a PHP script that accesses a remote file? (My web host is Dreamhost, and I have PHP 5.2.1.)

I've tried to find info about this on the web, but the info I found (such as in this tutorial) didn't work for me. I tried it in a script that remotely accessed a file on another website of mine, on which other site I then looked at the log and did NOT find the user agent string I had tried to set according to the instructions in the above-linked tutorial.
