Well... he said he needs to access a WS, not that he administrates it or has any control over the authentication, etc. As for the Basic Authentication, I believe you can send the authentication info in the headers (instead of the URL). If you have problems implementing that in straight PHP, perhaps cURL could be of some assistance. http://www.httprevealer.com/article_basic_authentication.htm - this outlines the header formats, etc... just remember--you will need to Base64 encode "username:password" for the "Authorization" header.
