使用PHP / Python在url中下载特定文件

Question

I previously used to use wget -r on the linux terminal for downloading files with certain extensions:

wget -r -A Ext URL

But now I was assigned by my lecturer to do the same thing using PHP or Python. Who can help?

Answer 1

You can use PHP function file_get_contents() to retrieve the contents of a documents. The first argument of the function is filename which can either be a local path to a file or a URL.
See example from PHP docs

<?php
    $homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
    echo $homepage;
?>
