Opera user agent string customize

Opera user agent string customize
Mon, 19 Mar 2007 11:57:48 -040
Hi,

Is there a way to setup a custom 'User Agent' string in Opera? i know that  
it could be set to a value flag to allow Opera identify as IE or Firefox,  
but i need to be able to setup a custom string to identify each Opera user  
installation and get that string in PHP (server side) querying the  
$_SERVER global array.

Thank you for such a great browser!

I'm afraid that is not possible. Anything wrong with using cookies?

Hi,

I was able to solve it with 'User javascript'. The login form calls a  
javascript function that alters the value of a hidden form field on  
submit, so we could add in the local user javascript file any 'signature  
string' we find appropiate for user tracking.

Thanks,  :)
