WGET to download file

Here is a script I found to download files using the commandline and WGET. But unfortunately the comments of the orig programmer aren't quite enough for me to understand.

Here is the script:

I know where the path to wget on my server (/usr/bin/wget), but i'm not sure what to put in the following:

• $destination-path
• $url (url of file I want to d/l presumably)
• /path-to-outfile/output
• $temp = `/path-to-cat/cat /path-to-outfile/output`;

I guess I am not sure of the "format" I need to enter for these vars.

Perhaps a dummy example would be of help.

Thanks so much.

 

Mostly all linux distros have wget installed by default or you can install it with this command
yum install wget
or via rpm command
rpm -qi wget
Hope it helps

Yeah I have wget installed (as mentioned above), but I just can't get it to work.

Anyone have an example of how to download a simple image:

exec("/usr/bin/wget http://fly.srk.fer.hr/jpg/flyweb.jpg");

For instance, that should work, but doesn't.

 

just do
wget http://www.example.com/example.jpg

wget is located in "/user/bin/wget" for me. Thus I the example I posted right before your post did that right?

 

As far as i know, it doesn't matter where wget is installed if it is installed properly it should work with word wget correct me if i am wrong
