---- 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:

[URL="http://www.zend.com/tips/tips.php?id=91&single=1"]http://www.zend.com/tips/tips.php?id=91&single=1[/URL]

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

[LIST]

  • $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`;
    [/LIST]

    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.
