Getting Files From Other Sites Using wget

[saxsux 0]

Hello. A while ago, a friend showed me this PHP code (wget) which allows you to get files from other sites. I was a simple one liner type thing.Since my old host (Nytka) went down, I've lost it, as has my friend.Do you know anything about wget, and could tell me it?

Dunno about php wget, but wget is a standard Unix Shell Command - which you can use like:

shell> wget -r http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png

The -r stands for recursive - i.e. it will download all linked files under the current URL.

I think he means how to have a php file download another file

I think you should use the system() command. (more info on http://php.net/)

It works like this

<?php
$foo = system('wget http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ~',$output);
?>

If i'm correct (im too lazy to test it atm, it will download a file file.exe from asdf.com and give back the console messages to the variable $output.

I hope this is what you're asking for
