RE: [PHP] basic authentication and redirection

[snip] In certain circumstances controlled by my users, I'd like to redirect my users to another site, a third party whom we have contracted with. The second site uses basic authentication with a simple username and password. Can I write my PHP code so my users do not have to login (or even know the username/password) on the remote site? This isn't intended to stop serious hackers, just enough security to stop casual passers-by. [/snip] Have a look at cURL (http://www.php.net/curl) as it will allow you to perform remote POST's which may be enough to get you through.
