I dont think anything with interactive output like that will work, I even tried using the backtick operator and it didnt work.

I have written a php script that gets a remote file and saves it to your site, it is basically the same as wget but works thru http protocol. It can be downloaded from my site (which is currently being redone so forgive me for the poor design) at http://www.drew-phillips.com/scripts/dlcounter/download.php?id=2

Then hopefully you can implement that little program into whatever you are trying to do...
