Need a Simple Solution(script) That Will Download Links From MySQL Database

    I have a MySQL database with about 25000 entries placed in the following columns:

    Title | Category A | Category B | Link

    All of the links are to external sites.

    I need a simple solution(can be done with php I guess) that can download all of the links on to my computer in the following folders:

    ../Category A/Category B/Title/downloaded.file

    The Title and Categories contain capital letters, spaces and special characters. But the folders which will be created should be SEF friendly.(lowercase letters and dashes only, and longer titles should be shortened)

    OPTIONAL: After that I will upload the downloaded files to my host and most probably would need to replace the 25000 links in my database with the new ones on my server.


    Can this be accomplished? Is it easy to do?

    I'm not really sure how hard it is to do this, but if you think you can do the job just name the price and I will send a sample of my DB.

    I'm familiar with php and mysql so if anyone can give me some guidance on this it would be much appreciated. :)

    Thanks for the link azizny, but I guess my php skill are not enough to build exactly what I needed.

    So the offer is still open. Can any one do this for a price please?
