Including user and password for php stream socket proxy

Question

I have a php script that connects to an smtp server and I pass the email address, password, and all the other stuff. (i'm using Zend)

I want to go through a proxy but my proxy server requires authentication. I've looked through the php documentation but I can't figure out where I put the username/password for the proxy server.

Thanks
