note 83604 added to function.copy

Hmmm.... im having a lil trouble, i want to use the copy() to download/copy files from weblinks. this is what i have: [CODE] function strip($link) { $larray = explode("/",$link); $i = count($larray); $filename = $larray[$i-1]; return($filename); } $text = "Enter link here"; if(isset($_POST['btngetme'])) { $link = $_POST['txtlink']; trim($link); $filename = strip($link); if(!copy($link,"./downloads/".$filename)) { $text = "Unable to copy file"; } else { $text = "File started downloading successfully!"; } } [/CODE] but it keeps comming up with this error: "Warning: copy(www.test.com/test.test) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\dm\index.php on line 9" the www.test.com/test.test is an example, i have tried using this on files from websites i KNOW exist. any help would be greatly appreciated :) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 196.35.158.181 (proxied: 196.209.60.31) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83604 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83604/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83604/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83604/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83604/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83604/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83604/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83604 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83604 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
