Re: Subject: Getting HTML Content as a variable

Hi Greg - dunno about (1) myself :-) Would be interested to hear, but I assume it involves appending these values to the hostname you are acquiring the data from. By analogy with the ftp:// url scheme, I imahine you can do it like this - try it and let us know if it worked for you : http://user:pass@www.whatever.com/ This will depend I guess on the authentication scheme at the other end - if it requires cookies or filling in a form I guess you're buggered - your milage may vary etc etc. In answer to (2) : When you rewrite the HTML, add the following to the top of your HTML output : <BASE href="http://192.168.1.100"> or whatever the hostname is you acquired the files from. Its a standard HTML tag. That will point all absolute paths to the system root on the specified server. HTH Neil Smith. At 15:13 18/01/2003 +0000, you wrote:

In Cold Fusion the CFHTTP tag allows you to pass USERNAME="myusername" PASSWORD="mypassword", there must be an equivalent parameter in PHP. 2) When I output the content of $html, which is the web page stored as a variable, the images are not there. Again, in Cold Fusion the CFHTTP tag takes care of this when you specify RESOLVEURL="YES", and I'm guessing there is a way in PHP to store the web page WITH images intact? thanks! ph_Greg
