Re: Make Script login to password protected web sites

If you are attempting to connect to a site that uses HTTP Authentication (that popup window), I *THINK* you can use: username:password@http://whatever.com If you need to get to/through a web-page with a FORM in it, dig out Rasmus' posttohost() function and use that to send the username/password to the login URL, and then see what you get back from that page that makes you a "valid" user from then on. You may need to re-present an ID or something as part of each GET/POST from then on. This kind of stuff *can* be done, but it's usually quite a headache the first time to figure out what has to go between the servers. Oh. If it's an https:// connection, you need to use cURL. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
