Script For Uploading Files Through URL?

Question

I need a php script which will enable me to upload files to my server through an URL.
I mean,If i put an URL of any file (e.g. http://mysite.com/pic.jpg) it will then upload the file to my server.If you know the script,then please help.

Answer 1

PHP isn't really the *best* way to go about this, but it will work. The most likely solution to work would be:



$file = file_get_contents('http://www.stuff.com/pic.jpg');



This will get the contents and store it as a variable. From here, you can use file output commands to save this as a file on the server the PHP script runs on, like so:



$filename = 'savePic.jpg';

$fileHandle = fopen($filename, 'w');

fwrite($fileHandle, $file);

fclose(fileHandle);



Now what this does is saves the contents of $file to the file savePic.jpg on the server, in the same location the script was run. First we defined the filename, then we created a handle to a file we created and opened with the fopen command. Here, w stands for write. Likewise, a would be append and r would be read. After this, we wrote data to the file handle we created, then closed the file. Be sure to close any file you open, or wonky things will happen, most of them bad.

Answer 2

as far as i understand, this is not available. you need to upload records from the FTP application to dissimilar which you will bypass to in information superhighway Explorer...and vice versa. i could prefer to be incorrect besides the reality that, yet i think of of the source you study that from could have made a mistake.

Answer 3

this will upload 1 file, but not through a URL. what you are asking for can't be done without an account.



function upload_put($conn_id, $dest_file, $src_file) {

global $remote_public_html_dir, $current_dir, $ftp_errors;
