help for using php for downloading files from expiring link

Post by vijayant.saini123 »

Hi all,

I am struck in situation for which i need help from all. I explain my situation below -:

I need to have my php script to open a webpage [say, http://www.example.com/startdownload] and wait on the webpage for [say, x seconds] to capture the download.
I cant use direct links to the file as the links are expiring and would need to be replaced every few hours. So i need some way to make php wait on the download page for download to start and then capture the download link/file.

Please help me in accomplishing a major {for me !} task as I am developing an application for checking updates of softwares.

Thanks in advance!!
