    Hi all,

    I'm trying to use exec() and wget, so it looks something like this:

    echo "Executing...";
exec("wget $link");
echo "Complete!";
    PHP:
    So the file, (which is quite small) is downloaded, but the "Complete!" message isn't displayed after the wget is carried out?

    Am I doing something wrong?
    Is it also possible to output the progress of the download, before it shows the complete message?

    Cheers :)

    Not that I know much about wget, but give this a try.
    
exec('wget -N -O ' . $filename . ' "' . $link . '"');
