Greetings list! Is it possible (and if so, how) to send username and password information to a website with PHP? I would like to submit some information to some network devices we have, but they require login credentials to proceed. I would like to bypass the traditional username/password prompt so I can automate the procedure. I hope this makes sense.
If you mean http auth style login information then you do the following: http://www.somedomain.com:user@password/the/path/to/resource.html
I think he meant http://user:password@www.somedomwin.com/the/path/to/resource.html
Yeah, that's it lol :) Cheers, Rob.
FYI - Typing this response on my old 286 because Rob's original suggestion made my 37.612-core Core2Duo box (used for notepad and newsgroups only) explode. Jay
