In the example below, $url is the web address you want to get data from, and $username and $password are the login credentials.

$context = stream_context_create(array( 'http' => array( 'header' => "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode("$username:$password") ) )); $data = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);If the login details were incorrect, or you were attempting to access a password protected location and didn't pass any credentials at all, you'll see an error like this:
Warning: file_get_contents(...): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required in ... on line 4
