Hi,

sure it's possible. You have to write a HTTP Client inside your PHP Script which retrieves the Data on request of the Client, stores them local and presents a page where the Client can then download this file.

Hint: Retrieving Data from a HTTP Site using Sockets: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=54660

Its great when people ask "can i do this"

Now its not a case of "can i do this", but more "how do i do this"

More of a person's understanding of English, it is not everyones first language!.... respect to those who post and struggle with English......

I dont think you understod me, i wasent trying to insult their language,

I ment that now that web programming languages are so good and complex, you can do almost anything with them

Sorry for any confusion

hehe..... no problem I definately misunderstood!!
