[Vtigercrm-developers] SOAP

[Lee Valentine]

There is actually a function for passing a username and password to the 
server for basic authentication.  The code below will do what you need.

$client = new 
soapclient('https://www.yourserverhere.com/path/to/soap/vtiger_invoices.php', 
false);
$client->setCredentials('user', 'password');
