Errrr. You're not making sense... You want my browser to LIE to your server about what browser it is? Opera will let you do that. You want to not believe I'm not using the browser I say I'm using, by changing the string it sends you to identify itself? Just ignore what I send. You are trying to masquerede as some other browser, but don't want to let us know because you think it's some big Security thing, or you're scraping things you think somebody cares about or...? I hesitate to help you, but the bottom line is that there are *dozens* of tools to web scrape and masquerede as any browser you want, so even if you're as, errrr, naive, as this post indicates, you're going to find them within a week. None of this has ANYTHING to do with register_globals, so you clearly are not understanding the User-agent: header, or register_globals, or both. Probably both, to be honest... re-read the register_globals page on php.net And for the User-agent, Opera, wget, Firefox with LiveHTTPHeaders, and dozens of other tools let you alter that. But ain't no way you can make *MY* browser not send you the User-agent it wants to send. It's *MY* browser, on *MY* computer, thank you very much. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
