Well the actual problem is that this file is behind a http authenticated
directory. I actually don't want the users to know the login and password
for it since it is the login for my control panel for my website. However, I
do want to be able to execute a url, this is to allow users to create their
own email addresses with pop access without requesting them from me all the
time.
I am just not sure if I can push the login and password for the
authentication window that would normally pop up, so the file is executed
behind the scenes, and the user would merely see a output of their username
and password and information on how to login to their account which would be
output as long as the file was able to be executed.
Any ideas?
