Note Submitter: kevin@oceania.net ---- [ Editor's Note: The following can also be done using copy(). i.e.: copy('http://www.example.com/foo/bar.txt','bar.txt'); ] Here is a simple example to fetch a remote file and write it to a local file. Note: you need to have write permissions to the directory you are writing the file to. <?php // just so we know it is broken error_reporting(E_ALL); // specify a file, in this cast the php logo $url='http://static.php.net/www.php.net/images/php.gif'; // specify our local filename $filename='phplogo.gif'; // snarf the remote file $remote_file=file_get_contents($url); // write the new file if(!@file_put_contents($filename, $remote_file)){ echo "Unable to write to file $filename"; }else{ echo "Success writing to $filename"; } ?>
