schoenung Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I would like to retrieve a CSV file located in a directory at somedomain.com that requires HTTP Auth via a script. Here is what is happening.In my script I want to retrieve the file and read it into a string using file_get_contants() or other. I [b]have[/b] both the [i]username[/i] and [i]password[/i] to access the directory. After I retreive the data I'm going to process it and update information in a database.When I use file_get_contents() to get the file I get an error that states that HTTP Auth is required. [b]How do I have the basic HTTP dialog pop up and request this information, or how can send the password and username so that I can get the file?[/b]Currently I'm retrieving the file then saving it. Then running a script that processes the data.here is a sketech of the script<php?//get the data $data=file_get_contents('somedomain.com/restricted/file.csv');//no process then data...?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
