That is HTTP Basic Authentication You should use this line: $filename = 'http://someuser:somepwd@somesite.com/'; instead of: $filename = "http://somesite.com?user=someuser&pwd=somepwd; and source will look like: <?php // get contents of a file into a string $filename = 'http://someuser:somepwd@somesite.com/'; $handle = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($handle, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($handle); ?> nadim's solution will look like this: $html = implode ('', file ('http://someuser:somepwd@somesite.com/'));
