How can I pass User_ID and Pw to server

[jpoltora]

Hi,

I try to write scriplt which will use 'wget' to send request to server.
This server is using HTTP Basic Authentication.
I'm not to sure how to send the user id and password with my request.

To use 'wget' I will something like this
<?
passthru("wget http://server.net.com/");
?>

Any help will be great.

Cheers
