reading webpage with file_gets_content after loggin in.

[hsriat]

I am using file_get_contents to read the content of a page.But unfortunately, the information I actually need to filter out is only shown if I am logged in.

Any solution for how I can read the page after I do the login?

Thanks

pass the login and password along with the url.

http://login:[e-mail]:port/

Didn't work that way. If I try using this in the browser, even then it doesn't work. It says something like "this site does not need authentication.... "

So that means this thing works with htaccess authentication, not the cookie/session authentication.

Ok, got the solution.
file_get_contents is not the right choice but curl is!

I think it’s the other way round.

If you type the link (including login:password) in your browser, you can only visit the page with htaccess, not cookies/session authentication.
