Download Remote File to Server with PHP

Question

I\'ve been looking all over the place for the last two days and trying everything and still can\'t get anything to work. I feel like this should be a relatively simple thin

Answer 1

$url  = 'http://www.example.com/a-large-file.zip';
$path = '/path/to/a-large-file.zip';

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

file_put_contents($path, $data);

it uses curl

$url is the file url

$path is where and the name to save the file

i hope it works

Answer 2

file_put_contents expects a filename, not a directory name.
