How can a PHP file be included in a password-protected area when setting up a cronjob?

When setting up a cronjob to run a PHP file in a password-protected area, you can include the necessary authentication credentials in the URL using basic authentication. This involves adding the username and password to the URL in the format "http://username:password@domain.com/path/to/file.php". This way, the cronjob will be able to access the file without any authentication prompts. 

// Example of including a PHP file in a password-protected area using basic authentication in a cronjob
$url = 'http://username:password@domain.com/path/to/file.php';
$content = file_get_contents($url);
echo $content;
