Hello,

Sorry but I am sort of new to this. Do you know of what I can look up
in PHP to get me started on this? Like to be able to access a url
webpage and then be able to download its images to my server? I just
need a starting point...

Thanks and Regards,

frogger

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.php might be the best place
for PHP related questions.

How about this, http://www.jeffheaton.com/javabot/javaspider.shtml, a simple spider program.

First, "How To" is a bad subject. "Downloading images from a web
page." would have been much better.
Second. PHP and Java are so very different. Did you really mean to
ask about PHP? If so, comp.lang.php might be a better place.
Third. Google is usually a good starting point for most questions. If
you only need a starting point, search google. You might find the
standard utility called "wget" which does what you want. Caveat: to
use wget on windows, you might have to get cygwin.

There is a Windows port: I found that recently when helping a guy on
another newsgroup with a different problem.

Do you mean, how do you upload a file on a Java client to a server
running PHP? You would use FTP protocol. See
