Apache的基本身份验证

Question

I have basic authentication enabled on an Apache server. The server is hosting an API that I implemented and I want to do is call this API from my PHP script. I got as far as figuring out how to create a header:

$user = 'my_name_api';
$pwd = 'xxxxxxxxx';
$auth_string = $user . ':' . $pwd;
$auth_b64 = base64_encode($auth_string);
$header   = 'Authorization: Basic ' . $auth_b64;

How do I include the $header in my API calls? I am looking for something other than cURL, and I am NOT using any environments like zend, etc. (saw some example for Zend, etc., but I am not using any of those).

Answer 1

Have you tried fopen / file_get_contents?

Start here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

or here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php

and let me know how it goes...
