I don't know why you would need wget.

You could use curl to go to the website and get the new link. After you have the link, just store the information in the database and your done.

You are basically scrapping other sites for content.

This article looks like it is promising:

You could also try to search google. I used the term:

scrapping site php curl

Have fun.
