Quick Question / Request

Hey guys,

I would like to know if this solution is possible using php:

Problem - Internet filters block out certain file types for example exe, zip, and rar.

Proposed solution - A proxy sort of script, which retrieves the file given from the internet (the server on which the script will be running has unrestricted access), saves it locally, then changes the file extension to something that can get past the filters, such as .jpg or even something non-existent like .lol and provides a link to it.

Is this possible using php? And if so how simple is it? Simple enough for one of you fine people to knock up a quick example for me? ;)


Thanks in advance for your help,
kr0me
