    What would be the code to cURL to a website with a login and store it in $result?

    An example of such a website being http://broadband.iol.ie/cgi-bin/sec/dsl

    This is what i have but it aint logging in, just keep getting a authentication required message :o
    <?
    
        $url="http://broadband.iol.ie/cgi-bin/sec/dsl";
        $ch = curl_init ($url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
        curl_setopt(CURLOPT_USERPWD, "[joebloggs]:[password]");    
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://broadband.iol.ie/usage"); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
        $result = curl_exec($ch); 
        curl_close($ch); 
        
    
    echo $result;
    ?>
