file_put_contents(\"Tmpfile.zip\", file_get_contents(\         


        

Answer 1

Use a simple method in php copy()

copy($source_url, $local_path_with_file_name);

Note: if the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten

PHP copy() Function

Note: You need to set permission 777 for the destination folder. Use this method when you are downloading to your local machine.

Special Note: 777 is a permission in Unix based system with full read/write/execute permission to owner, group and everyone. In general we give this permission to assets which are not much needed to be hidden from public on a web server. Example: images folder.
