You can do this in several ways in php..

if you happen to host your code in a linux env or has a native curl support, you can

$call = "curl --basic --user {$username}:{$password} \"{$url}\"";
exec($call, $resp);
print_r($resp);

or you can use the module class.http.php from HTTP Library

$http = new Http();
$http->useCurl(false);
$http->setMethod($method);
$http->setAuth($user, $pass);
$http->execute($url);
$resp = $http->error ? $http->error : $http->result;
