I'm trying to write the data from a remote file (on the

of the remote file being written to the local file, the local file contains a resource ID. I'd appreciate a push in the right

direction as

far as pulling all the data from the remote file to the text file. | $remotefile = fopen('http://mydomain.org/testo.html','r'); | | $localfile = fopen('/home/dave/public_html/test.txt','w'); | | fwrite($localfile,$remotefile); | | fclose($localfile); | | fclose($remotefile);

Lookup each of the above functions in the manual and see

_what arguments_ they

take and what they _return_. Then examine and try the

examples given for each

of the functions and understand how they work.

Obviously that's the first thing I did, but they do not offer any guidance beyond where I've gotten. I also tried this....

Well, obviously you did not look at the right bits, so try this little quiz: (1) what does fopen return? (2) what does fwrite() expect its second argument to be? (3) are these the same?

No, or I wouldn't be asking. I was looking for some assistance. Judging by these two responses, I guess this is not the right place to ask questions?
