php - grabbing a page by url (that requires auth)

    I've toyed around with this before and hit a dead end...
    What I'm trying to do is write a php script that'll retrieve a page of html from my router's config interface (for logging and processing stats).

    The only problem is that the page requires authentication (in the form of a pop-up box, which looks like the .htaccess one).
    What I'm not sure how to do is send the username/password with my request.

    Can someone point me in the direction of what functions I should be looking at? :confused:

    Usually you can access a page like that using:

    http://username:thepassword@http://192.168.0.1.

    Alternatively if using something like cURL - you can pass it as a parameter afaik.

    Take a look at PHP Curl. It's designed for logging into sites, testing, screen scraping, etc...
