Google Cache and PHP

[woody79]

I am creating a project and part of it is that it takes videos from the web using this format:

http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=

 

I am still trying to work out how to make php download this file to a directory. I was wondering if antbody could help me out with this problem?

first what are you trying to do?

 

if your scrapping the videos then you need an agreement with google.

if thats agreed then you could use

file_get_contents(); to pull the file in
