1. Install the CURL module with your PHP.

2. Write your CURL-using program. A few keywords:

  curl_init("https://...")

  curl_setopt(... CURLOPT_FILE)

  curl_exec()

  curl_close()

3. Enjoy your downloaded file.

Or, if you can't install the curl module, use the curl command line tool from
within your script.

Ah, and try the docs:

        http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

and for the CURLOPT_ ones, try this:

        http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html
