So I built a vb program to download files from a site. the program has a browser for you to go to a url. Then you enter the file url you want to dl and it dls for you.

Anyways when the url is ex. http://www.google.com/googlevideo.mpg then it works fine but with php its ex. http://www.google.com/download.php?file=62

How does the = 62 link to the file? Is there anyway around the 62 or can i find an absolute path to the file its pointing to?

I will post my program if someone wants to get a better idea of what i am talking about.

You do not have access to the PHP files. Only the html coded page you are viewing in your browser at the time.

Ok thanks, I ended up using fiddler and found the link to the folder which held the video files....Gotta love fiddler.

If I had known that is what you wanted and the site link, I could have given you that info long ago. Razz
