You may be able to do embed the username/password in your URL:
$file = fopen("http://username:password@example.com") or die("Could not
open remote page");
You may want to actually store the username/password in a different file,
and try to make it slightly less easy to read/find that file to avoid
exposing passwords, the same way you would do with MySQL
username/password.
