Wget / Curl question regarding php address

[crashbelow]

Hi,

I've been searching all over for an answer to this:

The following website has a gallery of thumbnails which link to full photos, but because of the arguments within the address, I cannot figure out how to download all the images contained within the gallery.

I know how to "log in" to the website but wget and curl tell me the arguments following "content.php?" are unrecognized. Please help?

ttp://www.website.com/members/content.php?show=galleries&gallery=398&section=1

P.S. I read somewhere about putting quotes around the address but was unable to get it to work with that either.

Did you check if any of the url has escape characters? I know & has to be escaped to &.

its still not working, giving me an error for the "gallery" and "section" stuff as unrecognized commands, can someone give me an example of a working command to download a gallery from a php site in wget or curl? thank you

The & is being interpreted by your shell instead of being included in your query string to the web server. You need to put the entire URL inside of "" like "http://website/path.php?query_string=&more="

I tried both suggestions above. Here is what I type in:

wget -r -l2 -A.jpg " http://www.website.com/members/content.php?show=galleries&gallery=403&section=1 "

(no spaces between the " " ... just needed to format for forum post)

I get result:

Cannot write to 'content.php?show=galleries&Gallery=403&section=1' (Invalid Argument)

Any advise? I've been at this for a while now with no results...

Not really advise... just a comment.

I block wget on all my web sites.

Maybe they're doing the same?!?!?

Just saying...

Heh! Now I have advice...

I was just *thinking*. If all you want to do is download all the pics, why don't you just use dTa?

Read the description for dTa...

I might try the download all for just getting images- thanks VinDSL. I would rather have the full website copied.

I was able to download parts of the website but not all with wget - the php style is what is making me confused.

I would LOVE to download the full website that's at http://www.website.com/members/ (i know how to use login/password with php) but keep getting invalid arguments and such.

Is there a working method for downloading the full website and following ONLY links within the website where some of the pages are php? The arguments in the web address are my main confusion.
