wget in php?

[trytertqwr]

I was wondering that is it possible to like write a php script to wget files? ...

Like so people type the url in of the file, and it transfers it over to the server.

If not wget, something simular.

Is this possible? .. IF so be good for my entertainment site, save me from downloading, then uploading. Just one simple transfer!

You can use file_get_contents() function to fetch contents of a remote file using PHP.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php

You can use wget or any linux shell command using exec() or system() function. I do not recommend using exec() and system() due to security risks.

You can use this code to download a remote file using wget:

<?php
exec('wget http://www.remote.com/file.txt');
?>
