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:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

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.

Subject: Getting HTML Content as a variable

Hi,

I've been directed to use file() or implode() to get the html content of a web page, like this: $html = implode ('', file ('http://192.168.1.100/PHP/index.php'));

1 ) How do I pass authentication to websites that require username & password? 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
