======Garfield comic strip downloader======

This is a shell script that allows you to download Garfield comic strips from the official site.

====Requirements====

~-php5-cli
~-wget

Tested on Linux, probably will work on other platforms supported by php-cli and wget as well. Your shell should support UTF-8 for this script to work flawlessly.

====The script (version 1.0.2)====

%%(php;1;ckgarfdl.php)
#!/usr/bin/php -q

<?php

$VeryFirstDay="19780619"; //the date of the first Garfield comic strip
$CurrentDay=date("Ymd", strtotime("today")); //today

$PrintErrorMsg=False;

if(($_SERVER["argc"] <= 1) || (($_SERVER["argc"] == 2) && ($_SERVER["argv"][1] == "help")))
{
print("Garfield comic strip downloader. Version 1.0.2 by Cyber Killer\n");
print("Get the latest version at http://digital.dharkness.info/CkGarfDl\n\n");
print("Usage:\n");
print("ckgarfdl.php help → print this text\n");
print("ckgarfdl.php all → gets all Garfield strips from the begining (1978-09-19) until today\n");
print("ckgarfdl.php <begin date> <end date> → gets all Garfield strips from the specified days\n");
print(" date should be in \"Ymd\" format e.g. 20100118 for 18th of January 2010\n");
