PHP equivalent to wget?

PHP
1

I would like to make local cache copies of some webpages but I’m having some trouble. I can run wget via the shell on my webhost, but wget is very limited in being able to get stylesheet links and images embedded via CSS.

Is there a php equivalent that I can use, to basically give it the url of the page like http://site.com/article.php?a=1234 and then have it download everything required to view the page locally?

you can use file_get_contents, but it still wont download the extra files. That’s the closest single function I can think of.

you can use EXEC to run wget.
Anyay, i dont think that you can grab all files from a webpage… just (generated) html…

You would have to get the HTML file then phrase it get all the needed urls then go out again and fetch those items, repeat…this is how a browser does it.
