[thelist] PHP to access password protected page

Not in PHP to my knowledge but it is relativley simple in Perl using a few
handy modules. If you are a reasonable PHP hack then you should find perl
simple enough.
LWP and HTML::Form should do it.

A good tutorial on the basics of LWP can be found here
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/08/20/perlandlwp.html

Good luck
