A mirror is NOT a backup, it is a static snapshot in time. You can not get php
or any other server side code from the public side of a web server, only the
html output and referenced files.
If you want to back up your site, use the webmaster side.

PHP is irrelevant, you can only get html.
1) If you're just trying to mirror the site, drop the user defined structure
until after you get it working.
2) Some sites do not like a HTT browser ID. I only use msie 6 ID
3)

These are invalid URLs and are NOT filters (no +/-)
The default is to mirror all. Drop all your filters

> "C:\some_folder" +*.png +*.gif +*.jpg +*.css +*.js
4) You're using the near flag (get non-html) so those fiters do nothing

> .?=page*=text/html -%A php,php3,asp=text/html )
5) drop those assumptions. That is for trying to mirror a broken site and is
likely breaking your mirror.

> Does anyone have any suggestions?6) Always post the command line used (or
log file line two) so we know what you did, not what you think you did. WITH
the actual site url. There's no mind readers here.
