PHP: upload file from one server to another server

Question

I\'m developing a website in a server and the storage is in another server and I have to deal with that somehow. I nerve experience this case and I found that the solution i

Answer 1

We are using same use case like you. we have two server : Application server and Storage server.Where application servers contains methods and UI part and storage server is where we upload files.Following is what we are using for file upload , that is working properly :

1) You have to add one php file that contains following methods on your storage server :

2) On your application server.

Create a method that will pass $_FILES data to storage server.

 $data = array(
    'file' => new CURLFile($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],$_FILES['file']['type'], $_FILES['file']['name']),
    'destination' => 'destination path in which file will be uploaded',
    'calling_method' => 'upload_file',
    'file_name' => 'file name, you want to give when upload will completed'
); 

**Note :CURLFile class will work if you have PHP version >= 5**

 $ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, PATH_FOR_THAT_PHP_FILE_ON_STORAGE_SERVER_FILE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 86400); // 1 Day Timeout
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 60000);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {

    $msg = FALSE;
} else {
    $msg = $response;
}

curl_close($ch);
echo $msg;

In this way using CURL it will call storage server file method and upload files and in same way you can call method to delete file.

Hope this will help.
