As you asked the question in a php newsgroup, I assume you wish to use php
code to retrieve The term you need to google may be "php curl".
However, as a simpler interface, if the php configuration allows it, you
can also use a url as a filename to open a file. What you then do with
the data you receive by reading from the file handle is up to you.
This of course assumes that you know the url that you want to retrieve.
If you're not using php to do the automatic download, you're asking in
the wrong place. How "automatic" do you wish it to be? If you want it to
happen every minute / hour / day / week etc you may wish to look up the
scheduling mechanism on your system (usually cron on a linux/unix etc
box, but I have no idea what you're actually using).
