how to set user agent for get_headers PHP function

Question

I know It's easy to set user agent for curl but my code is based on get_headers, by default get_headers user agent is empty. thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Maybe this?

ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0');

Answer 2

get_headers only specifies the data sent by the server to the client (in this case, PHP), it doesn't specify request headers.

If you're trying to find the user agent the get_headers request was made with, you'll have to use:

ini_get('user_agent');
