How to use wget in php?
You can use the exec
function in PHP to execute the wget
command. Here's an example:
exec("wget -O /path/to/save/file.txt http://www.example.com/file.txt");
This will download the file at http://www.example.com/file.txt
and save it as /path/to/save/file.txt
on the server.
Keep in mind that the exec
function can be disabled on some servers for security reasons, so it might not work on all servers.
Alternatively, you can use PHP's built-in HTTP functions, such as file_get_contents or curl
, to download files from a URL. Here's an example using file_get_contents:
$file = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com/file.txt");
file_put_contents("/path/to/save/file.txt", $file);
This will download the file at http://www.example.com/file.txt
and save it as /path/to/save/file.txt
on the server.
