Save a .php set into my laptop

Guys, I need help. I imagine you guys probably know a lot about computers. I want to download this set from a website but it'll only let me listen to it on-line. I downloaded one of those livestream things (hidownload) to get it but I can't find the link address. It only downloads a .php but I want an mp3 file. I tried reading on-line how to do it but it says php sources need a special server. Any help you guys can give me on how to do this or just the link address. Thanks for any help you can give me. Appreciate it.

Here's the link, I want to save the PvD set:

Thanks again!

Saving a PHP document won't get you anywhere. PHP is just like an ordinary HTML document, the differences are that PHP is a scripting language similar to Java Script, ASP ect. PHP also needs to be ran at an apache server that can execute the code, while HTML on the other side is nothing but a interpretating language where you just surround different parts of text with tags that tells the browser how this infomation should be presented...what has this to do with the mixes you wanna get? Nothing really, I'm just trying to explain why PHP has jack shit to do with those sets.

What you on the other hand need to get is the source for the streaming file for the particular sets you want. Depending on the file type there are several diffent softwares that can rip and save the streams into MP3-files.

Easiest though would be if you just plug an MP3 player with a line in to the computers line out and record the set during playback.

Keep in mind though that this indeed could be illegal. Not that anybody these days seems to care, but still. Also, one of the reasons to why those files are streamed and not downloadable are to prevent illegal distribution, so keep that in mind if you decide to in one way or another record them to your harddrive/MP3-player or whatever.

Don't bother ripping it, it is shit quality my friend. Find this somewhere instead:

Paul Van Dyk - Fritz Soundgarden-SAT-11-30-2005-HSALIVE

It was encoded at 192 kbps and can be found very easily.
