At http://php.net/fopen there's a comment that says a URL can be opened with basic authentication like this: fopen("http://user:pass@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/mypage.php";); Alas, it doesn't work for me. How can a URL be opened, when the URL is protected by basic authentication? -- Matt Payne, Payne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 932 1779 \|/ (o o) ------------------------------oOo--(_)--oOo-------------------------------- Slow down to go faster.
